The challenge to reduce carbon emissions offers the fashion industry an opportunity for its players to do what they do best — be creative.

The apparel and footwear industries together account for more than 8 percent of global climate impact, greater than all international airline flights and maritime shipping trips combined.

Conspicuous consumption is out -- and circular fashion is in. No, the term doesn't refer to round patterns or silhouettes but to extending the lifecycle of well-made garments and recycling their materials into new items. These challenges aren't insurmountable. Indeed, the crisis at hand represents an opportunity for industry players do what they do best -- be creative.Enter businesses like The RealReal, a thriving online and physical luxury consignment store valued at $450 million, according to research database PitchBook.

It also makes good business sense."We have 25 million pounds of clothing thrown out in the U.S. per year, and most of it has not reached its usable life. So these companies are capitalizing on that," author Cline said. "the queen of sustainability" for her eco-friendly fashion line, is widely considered to be a pioneer of the sustainable fashion movement.

"Obviously I care about the environment. And I thought if I have a blank canvas to start a supply chain from scratch, I will -- in every way I can -- build it to help the environment or lessen our footprint," Dai told CBS MoneyWatch.

3 years ago the US had its cleanest air since 1993. Nice. As most countries responsibly reduce emissions, i.e. France has moved to 'clean' nuclear which provides 80% of their electricity needs. Problem: CCP, India, Putin - are emitting more CO2. Focus on the problem

2000 people lived in the Novotoshkivske in the Luhansk region before that war. Kadyrov’s Chechens finally captured the village & decided to send up a drone to film their achievement and 'liberation'. This is what they will do to all cities in the Donbas.

Say goodbye to gasoline-sheik and say hello to solar-powered sundresses and those old beanies from the 50s that had a propeller on the top, now have a big-ass windmill on the beanie on the head of a skinny, hungry young lady marching angrily with that goofy sh+t on her damn head.

Video: Texas produce industry will feel long-term impacts of Gov. Greg Abbott’s vehicle inspection programIn this video, see the impact of Abbott’s increased border inspections on produce importers, fruit stand vendors and truck drivers on both sides of the Texas-Mexico border. Oh no, not the fruit stand vendors. Won’t somebody please think of the fruit stand vendors?! Maybe Mexico should stop facilitating the trafficking of millions of people to our border, and we won’t have to check the trucks coming through to make sure people aren’t sweltering to death inside of them? All Abbott was doing is a safety check after they were inspected for contraband. This was strictly done to slow down truckers to cost the state and nation money and empty store shelves. That what DanPatrick told fox entertainment. Make the democrats look bad.
