Believe and speak this Word over your life today.. ----------------------------------- Let God arise, Let His enemies be scattered; Let those also who hate Him flee before Him. As smoke is driven away, So drive them away; As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God. But let the righteous be glad; Let them rejoice before God; Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly. Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name YAH, And rejoice before Him. A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, Is God in His holy habitation. God sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who are bound into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a dry land. O God, when You went out before Your people, When You marched through the wilderness, The earth shook; The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God; Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. You, O God, sent a plentiful rain, Whereby You confirmed Your inheritance, When it was weary. Your congregation dwelt in it; You, O God, provided from Your goodness for the poor. The Lord gave the word; Great was the company of those who proclaimed it: “Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home divides the spoil. Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, You will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her feathers with yellow gold.��� When the Almighty scattered kings in it, It was white as snow in Zalmon. A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan. Why do you fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks? This is the mountain which God desires to dwell in; Yes, the LORD will dwell in it forever. The chariots of God are twenty thousand, Even thousands of thousands; The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place. You have ascended on high, You have led captivity captive; You have received gifts among men, Even from the rebellious, That the LORD God might dwell there. Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! * Text & Buy classic Mitumba Camera Clothes 0742943465..

TEXTILE MOUNTAIN - THE HIDDEN BURDEN OF OUR FASHION WASTE

“No existe tal cosa como 'lejos'. Cuando arrojas algo, debe ir a alguna parte” - Annie Leonard

Muchos de nosotros cuando ya no usamos una prenda la donamos a tiendas benéficas y bancos de recolección de ropa, pero ¿sabemos realmente qué les sucede después?

El 70% de nuestra ropa donada se empaca y se vende a comerciantes textiles que la envían al extranjero para su reventa en África subsahariana. Textile Mountain muestra el coste social y ambiental del comercio de ropa de segunda mano. Exponiendo el camino de nuestras prendas no deseadas, incluso aquellas que no han sido vendidas, hasta los contenedores de reciclaje en Europa, los vertederos y las vías fluviales en el Sur Global. Nos muestra los mercados de segunda mano, llamados mitumba, en África. En donde encuentras marcas como Reebok, Nike, Adidas, Zara a un precio bastante asequible. La ropa les llega en fardos en los cuales por lo menos el 50% les llega en malas condiciones y son desechadas a los vertederos, como Dandora, que se convierten en montañas textiles creando un hedor insoportable. Son quemadas posteriormente contaminando el agua y el aire provocando enfermedades pulmonares contaminando el aire. Dandora se consideró llena en 2001, sin embargo sigue llegando más residuos.

Kenia importa más de 140 000 toneladas de ropa usada al año. Equivalente a 6000 contenedores de transporte de aproximadamente 12M cada uno de ellos contiene 550 fardos de ropa de segunda mano.

���

2 millones de toneladas textiles son desechadas por los europeos cada año. Cada segundo un camión de basura vierte su basura textil a vertederos o para ser incinerados.

...

Este pequeño documental nos pide que reimaginemos la forma en que diseñamos, vestimos y reutilizamos nuestra ropa, para que nuestro desperdicio de moda ya no se convierta en la carga de otro país.
