Hi,
Please join us for a digital event about some of the newest
innovations in textile fibers. These fibers are made of natural
elements and, unlike the majority our clothing, do not contain
oil-based synthetic materials that are toxic, highly polluting and do
not break down. When our air, soil, fresh waters and oceans are filled
with microplastics that are shed from our synthetic clothing — when we
are eating, drinking, and breathing them with no true understanding of
their effects — it’s time to find alternatives. These new fibers are
the alternatives.
EARTHDAY.ORG and the Conscious Fashion and Lifestyle Network
invite you to join another installment of our Earth Day Live series,
The Fashion Industry’s Age of Invention - Fabulous Fabrics for
the Future on Wednesday, January 25th at noon Eastern.
Join us for the live event.
The event will be approximately 1 hour and hosted on Twitter,
Facebook,
YouTube,
and on our webpage. By RSVP'ing, you'll receive a reminder on the day
with a link to view the event.
Our panelists include:
-
Alissa Baier-Lentz — Co-Founder and COO of Kintra

Renewcell
-
Tessa Callaghan — Co-founder and CEO of Keel
Labs
-
Kerry Bannigan, Moderator — Executive Director of the
Fashion Impact Fund
Fashion is one of the most polluting industries on earth and
in order to bring about sustainability, fashion must change. The
industry’s textile waste, carbon emissions, and microplastic pollution
are critical environmental problems that need to be
solved.
Fashion is one of the primary ways we express our identity
and personal style. What better way to express yourself than
by supporting sustainable fashion that protects the environment and
being stylish at the same time?
This webinar introduces three panelists who will discuss the
latest innovations in fiber. Join us next week for an informative discussion with
these pioneers who are leading the way to a smarter, cleaner future
through sustainable textiles.
See you there,
Shelley Rogers Coordinator Fashion for the Earth
