Our health is intrinsically linked to nature and the ocean. Most of the clothes we wear are full of plastic and chemicals, touching our organs and being washed into the ocean.

There are solutions! Plant based fabrics are chemical free and don’t contain microplastic. It’s not too late to turn the tide!

A new study commissioned by Seas At Risk, from the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research drawing on 1.74 billion km of real voyage data (that’s Earth to Saturn), shows that wind propulsion can deliver real emissions cuts now.

The numbers are hard to ignore:
⛵ 6.3–9.4% fuel savings across the global fleet
🌍 Up to 762 million tonnes of CO₂e saved by 2050 - roughly the equivalent of removing 170 million cars from the road for an entire year
🚢 The top 5000 ships (bulk carriers & tankers) could unlock 50% of the savings
And yet, without stronger policy? Just 0.2% emissions reduction by 2050
Let that sink in.

Paris Fashion Week celebrates creativity and innovation, but there’s an invisible side to many modern textiles.

Synthetic fabrics shed tiny plastic fibres during washing. Some of these microplastics make their way into rivers and seas.

Awareness isn’t about giving up fashion, it’s about pushing for smarter solutions so style and sustainability go hand in hand.

Why? Because right now, they are handing out permits to poison our water, food, and nature 🤢

📢 We stand with 570+ organisations from across the EU and beyond to call on MEPs to address unprecedented attacks on NGOs in the European Parliament and ensure that citizens’ voices are heard!

This attack on civic space risks impacting citizens’ ability to contribute to issues that affect them, including the biodiversity🐙 and climate🔥 crises.
