ERROR, ERROR, ERROR!<\/h2>

We buy clothes, but our fitz shouldn\u2019t cost the Planet!! The fashion industry is now approximately <\/em>worth over 2.5 trillion dollars & employs over 75 million people around the world!!<\/u><\/em><\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

\"odbvi3kanqrfufwiikpjggal4iuwlglm1mdpvo1kmzst4jmm.jpg.jpg?w=1140&v=2\"- Join #TreadNotDead<\/strong> to protect our land from textile waste & various pollutions<\/p>

<\/p>

Fast fashion pollutes our planet and exploits our people. Truck-loads of clothing are being dumped so often, that 10% of humanity\u2019s carbon emissions are being affected dramatically. The World Economic Forum<\/u><\/a> - 1 of the world\u2019s largest polluters is responsible for the \u2018improvement of the state of the world<\/em>\u2019, yet they do very little to try and stop these ongoing issues - or even address them with enough urgency. That\u2019s why here, at KA$HIT FITZ we chose to be a part of the change and help humanity. 1 order at a time, t-shirt by t-shirt.<\/p>

<\/p>

Wasted Water:<\/h3>

<\/p>

\"ovyr6lrjbcxb5pkjsv9rljig27qhl45bjabdisl34im5famg.png.png?w=1140&v=2\"- Did you know this??<\/em><\/p>

<\/p>

According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), this is enough for one person to drink at least eight cups per day for three-and-a-half years, WOW! Fear not Kfamily, your t-shirts are specially made because the fields that grow the organic cotton we use to produce clothing are located in the North of India. There, the monsoons fill reservoirs that supply almost all the water needed, limiting the amount of water being drawn - that water could be used for drinking.<\/p>

Textile dyeing is the world\u2019s second-largest source of water pollution since waste from the dyeing process is often dumped into ditches, streams, or rivers<\/u><\/a>. On the organic side of fashion, it\u2019s ensured that where your fabrics are dyed, the water is recovered, cleaned & recirculated. It\u2019s even clean enough to drink<\/u><\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

Carbon Emissions:<\/h2>

10% of our global carbon emissions are the cause of today\u2019s choice of fashion supply.<\/p>

\"vvzbbd1vvv8mzcsc51wlbj4pojctvywup22nuyrzjzkfyo46.png.png?w=1140&v=2\"<\/p>

The 10% IS NOT<\/u><\/strong> just air freight emissions from rushing stock into stores for the fast fashion seasons, no, it\u2019s the pesticides and fertilizers that go into conventional farming, or the oil that\u2019s extracted to make polyester and other plastic fibers. These emissions equal more than all international flights and maritime shipping (ocean transport) combined - believe it or not!! So when you shop at KA$HIT FITZ be sure to know that we choose to use natural materials in your products, that means<\/strong> no fossil fuels, just super soft organic cotton.<\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Something needs to change about the way we make our clothing, either the materials or the manufacturing process - but changing both wouldn\u2019t hurt anyone. If business-as-usual continues, fashion\u2019s share of the carbon budget will jump to 26% by 2050, according to a 2017 report<\/u><\/a> from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. To counter this, our factories use renewable energy from the wind and sun & help out tree-planting organizations by hosting \u2018Buy 1, Get 1 Tree\u2019 offers. This grants recovery for CO2 in our atmosphere. <\/strong>We are so lucky we chose a more efficient supply chain & our products are made from natural materials.<\/p>

<\/p>

Farming <\/h3>

<\/p>

\"qs4jxcjvvjzvhatvgcapnlmxufpz4jdnjpxlrebldyezojpy.png.png?w=1140&v=2\"<\/p>

This is despite conventional cotton farming only using 3%<\/a> of the world's fertile land. Our products being certified organic means that no chemical nasties are used on the organic cotton crops and our fields help wildlife in the area thrive.<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"
This is an extra 115 million hectares<\/strong>,<\/a> and five times the size of the UK. That\u2019s land that will displace biodiversity in those regions. By making clothes that are designed to be remade, less land and fewer resources are needed to make new stuff again and again - this is the philosophy behind all of your products. <\/strong>Keeping our planet healthy & ultimately us too. SAY NO TO CHEMICALS <\/strong>- can\u2019t even eat an apple & not think about the many chemicals it might have\u2026<\/p>

<\/p>

There are so many more issues to address when it comes to the way our fashion industry operates - & then blatantly ignores. So I will make another blog entry about how FASHION NEEDS A REDSIGN!<\/strong><\/p>
