My research statement: The current production techniques of clothing are damaging to the environment because they release certain wastes into the air and use large amounts of non-renewable energy sources.
My research question: What are new ways to produce clothing that will be less damaging on the environment, such as new fabrics or production techniques?
Today, the way that clothing is produced is very hard on the environment. It puts many toxins into our atmosphere that destroys our o-zone layer, pollutes the air we breathe, and many other environemental issues. I plan to research some different ways that clothing can be produced that is environmentally friendly. Also, I am going to look into other materials that can be used that is better for the environment such as organic cotton.
Please share with me anything else you think I should reserach in order to find a better way to make clothing production environmentally friendly.
Maybe you can look into the government's role in the production and business regulations. When you find info on that kind of stuff, there's usually a ton of underground blogs and information with new ideas to help you find your answers. Cool topic!
ReplyDeleteNot only does clothing production pollute the enviroment but it also pollutes our bodies. Did you know that they soak thread in formaldehyde which is a toxin to our bodies. Whihle invesigation clothings effects on our body might make you topic too broad, it is interesting to note. Also, a statistic comparing the pollution rate of say the automobile manufacturing industry to the clothing industry might set up an intersting parallel.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, I did not really know that clothing production was so bad for the environment. I got this image of people weaving in my head that doesn't seem to want to go away. How are these fabrics made, what type of dyes, and chemicals are used? What other methods are there being used that are more environmentally friendly?
