Equipped with sewing baskets and mending skills, they repair their garments in public and teach interested passers-by how to do the same."The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EdinburghStreetStitchers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EdinburghStreetStitchers</a>, as they call themselves, are part of a growing movement that is reclaiming the ancient art of mending. Historically, mending was done in private and in ways that concealed, rather than announced, the repair. Choosing instead to mend visibly—whether through the color of the stitching or by doing it in a public location—is a statement and a conversation starter, Reasons to be Cheerful says." 'You are clearly stating that you have kept this from a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/landfill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#landfill</a>,' says Kate Sekules, a mender who teaches fashion history at the Pratt Institute in New York City’s borough of Brooklyn, and is pursuing a PhD in the history and theory of mending. 'It’s also got the advantage of making everything you own unique and special. And when you’ve invested time and energy and thought and craft into your clothing, you value it so much more.'"Inspired by the global <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StreetStitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StreetStitching</a> movement, the former pharmacist Mary Morton started the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Edinburgh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Edinburgh</a> group in 2022, three years after a discussion with her son sent her down a rabbit hole of research and learning about the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a>. 'At the end of all of that, I was absolutely horrified. I thought, ‘What can I do about it?' she recalls."Volunteering at the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SHRUBCooperative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SHRUBCooperative</a>, which is working to reduce waste in Edinburgh, she learned about the high carbon impact of textiles—producing a kilogram of fabric releases 23 kilograms of greenhouse gases on average. 'I’ve always done a bit of sewing, so I thought teaching people how to sew and repair their garments was something I could do to help,' says Morton. She started teaching sewing at the cooperative’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ZeroWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZeroWaste</a> Hub, but quickly realized she was preaching to the choir. 'I wanted to do something to reach out to the broader community and make them aware of the situation,' she says."The term 'fast fashion' was coined by the New York Times in 1989 to describe Zara’s business model, which turned a designer’s idea into a garment available to consumers in only 15 days. Today’s ultra-fast fashion retailers have further accelerated the pace of production: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Shein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Shein</a>, for example, has created 52 micro-seasons per year and adds up to 10,000 items to its website each day. With plummeting prices and a rising throwaway culture, by 2014, people were buying 60 percent more clothes than at the turn of the millennium, and keeping them for only half as long."Today the fashion industry is responsible for 92 million metric tons of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TextileWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TextileWaste</a> annually, and the dyeing and finishing of textiles causes 20 percent of industrial <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WaterPollution</a>. Due to energy-intensive production and long supply chains, the apparel industry is responsible for eight percent to 10 percent of global <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CarbonEmissions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CarbonEmissions</a>—more than aviation and shipping combined."The quiet, simple act of mending can go a long way toward reducing these impacts: According to research by the climate action NGO WRAP, 82 percent of repaired garments prevent the purchase of a new one, and extending the life of an item of clothing by only nine months reduces its carbon, water and waste footprint by a total of 20 percent to 30 percent." 'One of the other big benefits is to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NormalizeMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NormalizeMending</a> again,' says Morton. For most of human history, textiles were time-consuming to produce and expensive to buy, so mending them was second nature, says Sekules. Repairs were often visible out of necessity, since matching thread to existing fabric was a costly and often impossible proposition. One of the oldest extant examples of visible mending is a 2,000-year-old Egyptian tunic in the Whitworth Geller’s collection in Manchester, England, though the practice is far older than that. Over millennia people across the world developed their own distinct techniques of darning, embroidery and appliqué, using colorful patches or designs to hide holes and stains. 'It was made to seem deliberate, because it was a shameful sign of poverty to look as if you’ve been mended,' says Sekules."As mending fell out of favor in Europe and the U.S. in the late 20th century, the skills associated with it were also lost over time. 'As far as we can tell it used to be passed down the maternal line since time immemorial,' says Sekules. 'Then we forgot about it—culturally, it was just no longer a skillset we needed.'"In recent years a growing opposition to fast fashion has coalesced under the umbrella of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SlowFashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SlowFashion</a>, a movement championing quality over quantity and responsible use of resources. 'People are becoming more aware that the way we produce is harmful to people and the environment,' says Sam Bennett, maker, researcher and one-half of the duo behind Repair Shop, which takes mending commissions and offers online and in-person mending workshops. 'It’s a smaller, quieter form of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#activism</a> that I think is really exciting.'"The resurgence of mending coincided with early Instagram, with visible mending especially well-suited to such a visual medium, and menders like Celia Pym and Tom van Deijnen started to document their mends on the platform in 2014. 'Those posts and popularity then allowed for people to create public workshops, publish books and so on,' says Bennett, who is working on a timeline documenting how mending skills have been passed on over the past 300 years. Much of the skill-sharing has also moved to virtual spaces, which makes it accessible to anyone with an internet connection. But while they serve their purpose, online workshops don’t have quite the same magic, says Bennett: 'It really started with community and sitting side by side with someone. And I think that in the end, that is still the most successful way to learn.'<a href="https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/articles/stitch-don-rsquo-t-ditch-153005359.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/articles/stitch-don-rsquo-t-ditch-153005359.html</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VisibleRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VisibleRepair</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VisibleMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VisibleMending</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mending</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FiberArts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FiberArts</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Crafting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Crafting</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MakeAndMend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakeAndMend</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairDontBuy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RepairDontBuy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResistFastFashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ResistFastFashion</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuildingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BuildingCommunity</a>

Matt HodgkinsonA study published in Scientific Reports in 2024 claims that "AI systems emit between 130 and 1500 times less CO2e per page of text generated compared to human writers, while AI illustration systems emit between 310 and 2900 times less CO2e per image than their human counterparts." 👀Huge if true.Here's the kicker: "For the human writing process, we looked at humans’ total annual carbon footprints, and then took a subset of that annual footprint based on how much time they spent writing." 🤔Of course, writing contributes to carbon footprints in the same way as all other human activities like *checks notes* heavy industry, transport, agriculture, and energy and heating. /s 🙄Last author Andrew W.

Miguel Afonso Caetano"An analysis submitted for peer review this week by Luccioni and three other authors looks at the need for more environmental transparency in AI models. In Luccioni’s new analysis, she and her colleagues use data from OpenRouter, a leaderboard of large language model (LLM) traffic, to find that 84 percent of LLM use in May 2025 was for models with zero environmental disclosure. That means that consumers are overwhelmingly choosing models with completely unknown environmental impacts.“It blows my mind that you can buy a car and know how many miles per gallon it consumes, yet we use all these AI tools every day and we have absolutely no efficiency metrics, emissions factors, nothing,” Luccioni says. “It’s not mandated, it’s not regulatory. Given where we are with the climate crisis, it should be top of the agenda for regulators everywhere.”As a result of this lack of transparency, Luccioni says, the public is being exposed to estimates that make no sense but which are taken as gospel."<a href="https://www.wired.com/story/ai-carbon-emissions-energy-unknown-mystery-research/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.wired.com/story/ai-carbon-emissions-energy-unknown-mystery-research/</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GenerativeAI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Energy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CarbonEmissions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CarbonEmissions</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Transparency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Transparency</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigTech</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Propaganda</a>
