Earth Pledge Launches Eco-Friendly Textile Library

September 1, 2009 CAUSE & EFFECT No Comments

The Earth Pledge FutureFashion Textile Library online is the go-to source for eco-friendly fabrics.  They promote renewable, reusable and nonpolluting materials and processes at every step of the supply chain and work to assist designers and brands in their sourcing.  Since 2004, They’ve connected designers and suppliers in the sustainable design process, and have encouraged investment in innovative technologies and techniques that restore the balance between human and natural systems associated with fashion.

Through their collaboration with textile suppliers, we have compiled sustainable fabrics produced with sustainable fibers and/or using sustainable techniques. Images of these fabrics along with information on their manufacture, composition and ordering can be found in the FutureFashion Textile Library which currently has over 2,000 fabrics from 85 mills worldwide, and continues to grow daily.

To learn more about the library, go to www.earthpledge.org and visit the FutureFashion initiative.

If you have any questions or need additional information please contact Amanda Martinez at (212) 725-6611 ext 248 or at library@earthpledge.org.

  • Special focus on glycomics in OMICS: A Journal of Integrative Biology September 10, 2010
    The glycome, encompassing all of the complex sugars produced by an organism, is comprised of multiple families of molecules whose function in the human body is often determined by the structure, composition, and placement of the attached sugars, as explored in a comprehensive look at the field of glycomics in a group of key articles in OMICS: A Journal of In […]
  • Flying fish glide as well as birds September 10, 2010
    How well do flying fish fly? This is the question that puzzled Haecheon Choi from Seoul National University, Korea. Measuring aerodynamic forces on dried darkedged-wing flying fish in a wind tunnel, Choi and Hyungmin Park discovered that flying fish glide better than insects and as well as birds. The fish also derive an aerodynamic advantage from gliding clo […]

Never Underestimate the Power of Tomorrow

September 1, 2009

Bill Gates said, “People always overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in 10.” While I half expect a letter from some poor Xerox PARC guy challenging the provenance of that statement, the truth of its content is undeniable.

Or, are there movements afoot that, behind the scenes, seek solutions on a global scale, shattering political and corporate boundaries in [...]
