Every April 22nd, stakeholders of all backgrounds come together to advance sustainability and
climate action in commemoration of Earth Day. Our world needs transformation. It’s time for the
people of the world to hold governments and the private sector accountable for their role in our
environmental crisis while also calling for bold, creative, and innovative solutions. This will require
action at all levels, from business and investment to city and national government. That’s where
you come in: as an individual, you yield real power for change through your influence as a
consumer, a voter, and a community member. Don’t underestimate your power. When your voice
and actions are united with millions of others around the world, we can create an inclusive and
impactful movement that is impossible to ignore.
Sofi Lyndhurst will donate $1 to The Canopy Project for every resident that takes the
pledge to support reforestation!
Here’s how:
- Make the pledge on Facebook and tag us in your post
- Call, email, or stop by in the Leasing Office
- Community Info
- Participate during our Breakfast on the Go in April!

Sustainable Fashion

The fashion industry produces 150 billion garments a year and 87% (40 million tons) end up in a
landfill where they smolder and pollute the air or an incinerator.
Only 1% of all discarded clothing is actually recycled.
The average person today buys 60 percent more items of clothing than they did 15 years ago,
but keep them for only half as long. The average garment may be worn as few as ten times
before disposal.
The apparel industry is responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions – the same as the
countries of Germany, France and the U.K. combined. Unchecked, fashion production would
account for 26% of all carbon emissions by 2050.
Fashion is one of the most polluting of all industries. Clothing is manufactured with highly toxic
dyes and heavy metals that are flushed into clean water streams, rivers and aquifers where they
sicken people and animals, harm ecosystems, and cause biodiversity loss.
The industry razes 150 million trees for cellulosic fabrics. Cattle grazing has contributed to
deforestation in the Amazon and the leather produced from that region has been traced to global
fashion brands’ shoes and bags.
Non-organic cotton farming heavily depletes and degrades soil. It is one of the world’s most
pesticide intensive crops. These affect the health of farmers and populations nearby. The toxic
farm runoff contaminates fresh waters, wetlands and aquifers and threatens biodiversity and
eco-systems.

Did you know?

Fact #1: An estimated 1,800 gallons of water go into a single pound of beef. With that much water you could take 105 eight-minute showers a day!
Fact #2: Food is the cause of 30% of all carbon emissions.
Fact #3: Beef produces the most greenhouse gas emissions, which include methane. A global average of 110lb (50kg) of greenhouse gases is released per 3.5oz of protein.
Fact #4: Beef requires 20 times more land and emits 20 times more GHG emissions per gram of edible protein than common plant proteins, such as beans.
Fact #5: Raising animals for food takes up half of all water used in the U.S.
Fact #6: Animal agriculture takes up land and is a leading cause of deforestation. In 2018, 30 million acres of tropical rainforest were lost. Which is equivalent of 43 football fields a minute!
Fact #7: Plant-based meat uses 72%–99% less water than conventional meat (l-water/kg-meat).
Fact #8: Methane, a greenhouse gas, has over 25 times the impact on our planet as carbon dioxide over a 100-year period. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the largest contributor of methane in the US is livestock and their waste.
Fact #9: Plant-based meat requires no antibiotics at all. It also greatly reduces the risk of antifungal resistance, which can arise from the use of fungicides on crops, because plant-based meat requires much less crop production than conventional meat.
Fact #10: Producing animal-based foods generates more greenhouse gas emissions than plant-based foods, which is why shifting toward a more plant-based or plant-forward diet is recognized as a solution for curbing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing climate change.
Fact #11: 1 gallon of cow’s milk requires 1950 gallons of water.
Fact #12: One recent study by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization concluded that, on average, it takes about three pounds of grain to raise one pound of meat.
Fact #13: Livestock contributes nearly 2/3 of agriculture’s greenhouse & 78% of its methane emissions.
Fact #14: It takes more than 11 times as much fossil fuel to make one calorie from animal protein as it does to make one calorie from plant protein.
