Come January, I am attending a convention/seminar of and for fashion designers, fashion merchandisers and retailers, garments and textile manufacturers, and companies and corporations engaging in the business of making and selling clothes. The topic that will be discussed is our role as makers of clothes and protectors of Mother Earth, and the way our line of business is affecting the onslaught of Global Warming.
I might want to raise some questions during this seminar.....what are good and relevant questions to ask that's in connection with my profession as a fashion designer?

Making clothes and fabrics not only involves choice of materials, but also the items used in processing them, like dyes, as well as the process itself, like tanning. You need to research not only the impact of the materials that the future fashion industry is going to make trendy, but also how the processing involved in the same is going to affect the environment. The by-products of these processes ultimately find their way to the rivers and the oceans through sewage, or are let out in the atmospere as gases.
The choices of materials that the fashion industry will make should involve considering these processes and their impact on the environment.

Ask how making clothes will change the predefined coordinates of the earth in reference to the orbit around the sun in a period of 10000 years. Then ask why the sun pressure changing over that number of years presents an ice age on the one side furthest out, and a desertous age on the opposite side closest to the sun. Mother Earth doesnt need our help, she was here long before us, and will last well after we are gone. Global warming is just a farce to remove topics of needed discussion, like why do pop tarts taste so good?

Well, here's good one, but it might upset the manufacturers:" Did anyone ever wondered the amount of fossil fuels our machines burn and the amount of carbon dioxide produced and contributed to global warming as a result?" But you can say it in a humourous way, if you think you are a charismatic man and can pull it off.
A more sensible one to use at this seminar would be:" How we could make changes to our cloths so that no process in the making of cloths involve givingout green house gases?"

How do we expect there is something yet a organic phenomenon linked with international warming and cooling considering we've in basic terms a constrained quantity of information from the previous one hundred or so years to entice from? isn't it superficial to asume that the greenhouse effect has in basic terms somewhat started interior the previous one hundred years? would not cleansing the air of hydrocarbons shrink the possibility of moisture for the reason that's "grimy air" which permits style clouds? What if any techniques are there to offer textiles and take care of a sparkling air atmosphere?

A serious set of questions from an environmental scientist:
"Crops raised for textile purposes displace natural and diverse habitat with mono-specific ones. Why is it that clearing land that negatively impacts many species in order to raise vegetable material is never questioned with respect to the emphasis placed on animal welfare policy?"
"Why is it that people feel the need to bolster their argument for social change with unproven, slanted or biased 'scientific' research and claims?"

What are the best materials to make clothes out of that can be recycled easily. What materials use the least amount of water to wash. What materials are the warmest, so we don't burn lots of fuel to keep warm. What clothing materials come from the best low energy mfg.plants.

Ask why the media was preaching about the impending ice age in the 1970's.

Ask about bio-degradable clothing materials, like environmentally friendly ones like hemp or pulp.

Ask "how much CO2 did we dump into the atmosphere by flying to this wingding instead of just teleconferencing?"
