Chandigarh 25th
Mar, 2019:- The whole world is troubled by global
warming. Scientists are trying to figure out why the global temperature is
changing so rapidly. In the meantime, one reason has come to light that short
shelf life of our clothes is also responsible for the menace of global warming.
According to the statistics of World
Economic Forum, nowadays people randomly wear a cloth for a longer time.
Clothes are cheaper day by day and are thrown out very soon. Clothing sales
have been increasing faster than world GDP. In the year 2000, 50 billion
clothes were sold in the world, while in 2015 this number swelled to 100
billion. Due to this, mountains of garbage have come up everywhere.
Bhikkhu Sanghasena, Founder, Save The
Himalaya Foundation (STHF) said that time has come that we consider
environmental issues seriously and take appropriate measures to save the
Himalayas and the environment for the sake of our future generations.
Sanghasena, the Buddhist monk from Ladakh, was
here in connection with the establishment of Chandigarh branch of STHF, is also
the founder president of Mahabodhi International Meditation Centre (MIMC) based
in Leh (Ladakh).
It is important to know that 63
percent of raw material for clothing is derived from petroleum. Thus, huge
amount of petroleum goes waste annually. It causes global warming. People must
not throw away their clothes too frequently and use it few more times.
