Webb, Bella. “Fashion Is on Track to Miss Climate Targets as Textile Production Grows.” Vogue Business, 5 Oct. 2022, https://www.voguebusiness.com/sustainability/fashion-is-on-track-to-miss-climate-targets-as-textile-production-grows. 

Fashion brands need to make great improvements in their preferred fibers used within their clothes to make up for the large dent the previous fiber technology had caused in the climate crisis. This includes switching out materials that are labeled as harmful to new and improved fabrics. Also, cutting down its increased amounts of production. In regards to cotton issues in California, the California Cotton & Climate Coalition has been formed in early september. In which California is taking a further step to improve California’s environmental situation. 

Vogue’s article relates to environmental issues because it highlights what people within the state of California are doing to reduce waste when growing crops that contribute to the fashion industry. It goes over the issues of farmers in California and their needs regarding their process of growing products. In the context of cotton which is grown with extreme amounts of water there has been cut backs made on its growing process. Cotton is widely used in most textiles throughout the world. Especially in California, which has a huge fashion industry in Las Angeles, and up in San Francisco. Two cities which are vital to the fashion industries production, and which also take a main role in the fast fashion production. The California Cotton & Climate Coalition brings multiple leading communities together to brainstorm steps they can take for precautions surrounding the process of growing crops. I think that this bill is a great step towards the idea of eliminating waste in the fashion industry because it goes farther than just the rapid production of clothing. These clothes are made from original textiles like cotton that may be wasteful themselves, and I think its very important for a large community to recognize that.
