- 18. PA 203 Green Education: Human Impact in the Environment / Issues / Problems IMPACT The fashion industry accounts for 5%-10 of global greenhouse gas emissions. It is generating a lot of greenhouse gases due to the energy used during its production, manufacturing and transportation of the million garments purchased each year. Majority of clothes also end up in landfills or are burned PAST LIFESTYLE People used simple clothes made out of natural products PRESENT LIFESTYLE Production of clothes has become more complex. Style and trend have become more important factors.

- As human beings, nature always surrounds us. We interact with it now and then. Our surrounding includes natural and manmade things All component which come into existence naturally are included in natural environment. The landforms on the earth, the climate, soil, minerals, sunlight, and the likes are component of our natural environment And in order to enrich our lives, human beings had used many natural resources and in this process, humans has brought many changes in the natural environment. Human settlements, roads, and buildings have developed through this.
- While man’s connection to nature has been severely weakened by man’s dependence on nature for domestic and industrial resources over the years, man still has a strong connection to nature. After all, man’s psychological and physical need for nature remains intact. As far as nature will continue being man’s source of physical and psychological well-being, humans will remain deeply connected to nature. That explains the deep and strong relationship between nature and man.
- In the Judeo-Christian tradition, man is set apart from nature and called to dominate it, although this attitude has been revised to become one of stewardship. Oriental religions, on the other hand, have a more holistic view and consider humans as an integral part of nature. Modern philosophers have views ranging from anthropocentrism to biocentrism and ecocentrism.

- At first, humans were incredibly in-tune with their surroundings. Nomadic hunter-gatherer tribes used to roam the lands, following the ebb and flow of the seasons. These tribes had a measurable impact on the environment, but their influence was relatively manageable due to their population size.
- Our relationship with nature has historically been one of imbalance and overuse. Nearly every step in human history has unfortunately been accompanies with a leap in environmental degradation. With advancements in technology and agriculture though, humans began to find more efficient ways of sustaining themselves. These advancements allowed for more permanent settlements, which led to rapid population growth and a distancing from nature. This leads us to our next topic, human impact in the environment.
- With technological advancements, nature became something we were no longer apart of and entirely subject to, but something we could control and profit off of. Although every species plays a unique role in the biosphere and inherently has its own impact, not every species has the cognitive ability to measure their influence or has the capacity to change it. Humans are unique in that respect, which is also the root of the problem. We are capable of understanding our influence over nature, but we tend to ignore the Earth’s reaction to our presence. Let’s take a closer look on how our activities as human beings have affected our environment.
- It is part of their culture to treat nature with careful respect in order to avoid consequences. However, nowadays, we see a glimmer of hope. Consumers nowadays are going green.
- A green consumer is someone who is aware of his or her obligation to protect the environment by selectively purchasing green products or services. A green consumer tries to maintain a healthy and safe lifestyle without endangering the sustainability of the planet and the future of mankind.

- These statistics show the extent to which the fashion industry contributes to both water pollution and climate change. Fashion is considered to be the second-highest polluting industry in the world. The fashion industry is responsible for 2.1 billion tonnes of carbon emissions each year. It produces around 4% of total global greenhouse gas emissions - more than shipping and aviation combined. Around 70% of the fashion industry’s emissions came from upstream activities (these include the production of materials, preparation, and processing). 20% of global freshwater pollution is caused by textile treatment and dyeing. The carbon footprint of the clothing industry could be reduced by 63% by switching to renewable clean energy sources. If no further action is taken over the next decade, the industry’s GHG emissions are likely to rise to around 2.7 billion tonnes a year by 2030, reflecting an annual volume growth rate of 2.7%. At its current rate, the fashion industry will use up 26% of the entire global carbon budget (based on a 2 degree scenario) by 2050. Making fashion a circular economy could reduce 33% of the CO2 emissions associated with textile production.
- Air pollution particles eventually fall back to Earth. Air pollution can directly contaminate the surface of bodies of water and soil. This can kill crops or reduce their yield. It can kill young trees and other plants. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide particles in the air, can create acid rain when they mix with water and oxygen in the atmosphere. These air pollutants come mostly from coal-fired power plants and motor vehicles. When acid rainfalls to Earth, it damages plants by changing soil composition; degrades water quality in rivers, lakes and streams; damages crops; and can cause buildings and monuments to decay.

- Clean Air Act - provides for a comprehensive air pollution control policy, as it outlines the government's measures to reduce air pollution by including environmental protection activities into its development plans.
