Special Event: Education for Earth – Live in the Multiverse on January 24th at noon Eastern, join us for Earth for Education – Live in the Multiverse.



The Fashion Industry’s Age of Invention, Part I: Fabulous Fabrics for the Future Wednesday, January 25, 2023, at Noon Eastern

This webinar looks at some of the newest innovations in textile fibers. These fibers are made of natural elements and, unlike the majority our clothing, do not contain oil-based synthetic materials that are toxic, highly polluting and do not break down. When our air, soil, fresh waters and oceans are filled with microplastics that are shed from our synthetic clothing – when we are eating, drinking, and breathing them with no true understanding of their effects – it’s time to find alternatives. These new fibers are the alternatives.

EARTHDAY‍.ORG and the Conscious Fashion and Lifestyle Network invite you to join another installment of our Earth Day Live series, The Fashion Industry’s Age of Invention - Fabulous Fabrics for the Future on Wednesday, January 25th at noon Eastern.

The event will be approximately 1 hour and hosted on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and on our webpage. By RSVP'ing, you'll receive a reminder on the day with a link to view the event.

Our panelists include:

  • Alissa Baier-Lentz — Co-Founder and COO of Kintra Fibers
  • Tricia Carey — Chief Commercial Officer of Renewcell
  • Tessa Callaghan — Co-founder and CEO of Keel Labs
  • Kerry Bannigan, Moderator — Executive Director of the Fashion Impact Fund

Fashion is one of the most polluting industries on earth and in order to bring about sustainability, fashion must change. The industry’s textile waste, carbon emissions, and microplastic pollution are critical environmental problems that need to be solved.   

Fashion is one of the primary ways we express our identity and personal style. What better way to express yourself than by supporting sustainable fashion that protects the environment and being stylish at the same time? 

This webinar introduces three panelists who will discuss the latest innovations in fiber. Join us next week for an informative discussion with these pioneers who are leading the way to a smarter, cleaner future through sustainable textiles.  

See you there,

Shelley Rogers
Coordinator Fashion for the Earth
