Wellness programs fail

Studies have found that workplace "wellness" programs fail to make workers healthier or happier.

Urgent: HJ Res 25

US citizens: phone your congresscritter and say to sign the discharge petition to bring HJ Res 25 to a vote. This is the resolution to bring the Equal Rights Amendment into effect by recognizing the ratifications that a sufficient number of states have already done.

If you phone, please spread the word! Main Switchboard: +1-202-224-3121

Clothing industry greenhouse gas

samedi 20 janvier 2024 à 13:48

The clothing industry contributes significantly to greenhouse emissions and to the waste society ultimately discards. How to reduce these two burdens is not clear.

One thing which is not clear to me is how this accounting deals with remaindered garments -- like the ones you can find in Marshalls. Are they included in the "sold" category (after all, they do eventually get sold by the company that ordered their production) or the "waste" category? If these are considered "sold", how come any garments remain as "waste"? Why aren't they all remaindered, and thus eventually put in the hands of someone who will wear them?

Some fraction must be bizarre styles that hardly anyone wants to wear. But it seems implausible to me that they would be a substantial fraction of total production.
