Nationally, and internationally in fact, we can see representation of synthetic fibres or man-made fibres in industry, and culture, and social life, and especially in the economy with huge amounts of selling of certain fibres such as polyester, which are produced mainly in China are based on our consumer demands in North America and Europe.
Personally, we can also see the inclusion of natural fibres and economies, and cultures, and social life, especially in our own little way with Trusted Clothes. (Read the other bloggers/writers, they have great stuff! We’ve got many things for all sort of people.) A little way that comes out with a big dream. Our dream is to influence many, many people at some point in the future through our initiatives.
I think that’s a noble goal. I think it’s a good goal. I think it’s a wonderful dream and I think that is something that is possible actualization in the world. And if it can be actualized in the world, but I think that it is worth pursuing. And if it’s worth pursuing then it’s worth discussing. And if it’s worthless cussing, and is worth reading about, and therefore I’m writing now.
Internationally, we can see some more representation of natural fibres with respect to an entire day that was devoted to natural fibres by the United Nations organ called the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations. It was the year 2009, and this was an important year, because the International Community recognized the need for sustainable agriculture, manufacture, distribution, and production of fashionable goods throughout the world for all kinds of cultures and economies.
In 2009, they noted that like agriculture, there were multiple aspects of textiles that are a fundamental part of human life, or at least by their claim, since the dawn of civilization. This spans from 5000 BC in Mexico and Pakistan up into the present. This is all this is a very important thing to pursue. Some of the fibres of the included for alpaca, abaca, angora, camel, cashmere, mohair, silk, wool, jute, and multiple others. This included a total of 15 fibres, plant and animal fibres.
They provide a tremendous amount of information about these things that seems relevant still to this day, to me, (I know, I know – it’s only 7 years onward, not even) and this seems of particular emotional valence too many individuals because it is covering a wide swath of a global industry that produces millions of tons of fibres. These fibres have been a part of our global culture, even though the global culture was fragmented and didn’t know about each other and still is to some degree, but this was a part of a larger initiative of human activity that seems innate (I’d hypothesize as an extension of normal human activity, like varieties of dance and writing or linguistic facility expressed in superficial differences in language) because part of human activity includes the harvest, manufacture, and the knitting of flavors for human clothing.
This clothing and then becomes fashionable for men and for women, and for other genders. This diversity then becomes a fashion statement. And this can then be extended to the dawn of the fashion industry.
It is a lot more broadly-based than what I’m presenting here, but it is something that I think is very important. I think it’s very important because it’s a very valuable resource. You can find it here. That’s all that I wanted to express in this particular note because the industry does have representation at the international level.
And anything that is represented at the international level tends to be of importance to many, many actors or Member States within the United Nations. And if it’s represented in the United Nations through many, many Member States, then it tends to have ratification or inclusion on many things that are relevant to the International Community, which means the global community. And that was represented in 2009, which is the why part of the whole deal.
