Viridian: The Green Guide

By : myheadinthecoudsnotcomingdown/pseuds/Clouds

Summary:

After his dream is finally crushed, Izuku isn’t quite sure there’s anything left for him to live for, but...he can’t exactly kill himself either, not without hurting the people he cares the most about. So, when he realizes that the quirkless can’t technically be vigilantes, it seems like the best of both worlds. He’ll be able to save people even without being a hero and, if he happens to die while he’s at it...well, like Kacchan said, maybe he’d be born with a quirk in the next life.

A Guide To Green Fabrics: New Book Educates Consumers On Going Green

An informed consumer is a true friend of the environment. But with the quantity of information floating about both online and through word-of-mouth, those wanting to make wise alternatives can very easily be overwhelmed and misled.

Thankfully, a brand new guide is out there to help! Calling itself the “ultimate eco-fiber reference guide for textiles professionals, design students, fashion and interior designers, product manufactures, and home sewers who want more environmentally responsible fabric options,”A Guide to Green Fabrics by Kristene Smith is a comprehensive tour guide to eco-friendly fabrics. I personally appreciate that this really is genuinely a book for everyone whether or not you are a member of a knitting circle or an aspiring fashion designer. We can all make a difference with our fabric choice.

As Smith states, “The textiles and apparel industry, with its massive economic engine, touches every life. From clothes and bedding to car interiors and medical supplies, textiles are indeed woven into our collective fabric of life.” The production of textiles affects every person from the farmers who grow the crop to the factory worker that readies the fabric for the consumer who buys it. Smith acknowledges that a lot of consumers lack an overall understanding of how textiles impact the environment so “textile producers must take the lead in promoting these new innovations to attract like-minded consumers and their resources, and to educate customers on the benefits of going green.”

This quite informative book is comprehensive and easy to navigate having a well-organized table of contents that separates chapters by fabric type from abaca to wild nettle. And inside the chapter, Smith talks about production, fabric traits along with the environmental impacts and positive aspects of each and every fabric.

What earned bamboo a spot in this book as both an eco-friendly and consumer-friendly fabric? Green Guide breaks it down into an effortless bullet point list of characteristics:

Abrasion resistant, non-irritating

300% more absorbent than cotton

Does not need agricultural tending, tractors or planting devices

Anti-bacterial

Biodegradable (mechanical production only)

Breathable, thermal regulating, cool

Deodorizes, keeps you odor free and smelling fresh

Outstanding draping qualities, much like silk

Takes well to dyes

More elastic than cotton

Enriches the soil

Hypoallergenic

Insulating, keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter

Naturally lustrous, similar to silk

Grows without need for pesticides or fertilizers

Avoids pilling and shrinkage

Resilient and durable

Extremely soft, silky hand, feels like cashmere

Naturally strong fiber

Sustainable resource, grows plentifully

Naturally UV resistant

Exceptional moisture wicking abilities

Beyond the bullet points, Smith takes time to clarify every single characteristic. By way of example, the anti-bacterial property is attributed towards the presence of a bio-agent referred to as bamboo kun that is bound tightly to the bamboo’s cellulose molecular structure making bamboo fabric a great selection for towels, bedding and organic baby clothing.

Smith also tackles a controversy, one that continues on between bamboo producers and the FTC, and that is the one relating to the manufacturing of bamboo as well as the labeling of bamboo merchandise. Explaining the distinction between chemical processing and the mechanical processing, Smith makes it less difficult for consumers to read labels and advises that they look for particular certifications like Oeko-Tex to authenticate its eco-friendliness.

Education is key as buyers and designers alike work to lessen their carbon footprint and also the Guide to Green Fabrics is a must-have for all of us students of the environment.

I created this web series during my second internship in the Student Activities Department at the University of North Texas. My partner did some shooting and the physical editing. I orchestrated the idea for each episode, scheduled guests and shot footage. This was probable my favorite and most stressful part of my internship.
