A pier located a mile from US and Mexico border. On a Monday where the tourist crowds are almost none, almost everyone on this beautiful pier were locals. Most who were fishing here were not enjoying a Monday afternoon recreation but rather catching their dinners.

Southern California beach piers are notoriously known for sunset marvels surrounded by luxurious homes with million dollar views. Why it is different here despite being in Southern California? Is it because this is a border city?
Even a beautiful white sand beach couldn’t bring equity to the neighborhood? Why poverty seems obvious here? We are on a mission! Change starts from around us.

The Fashion Pact, an alliance of fashion and textile industry firms committed to reducing GHG and waste generated in the industry, has delivered its first year progress report.
The organization has been structured around one common agenda, and the commitment to act together across three pillars: climate, biodiversity, and oceans. Inspired in part by numbers 13, 14, and 15 of the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals, they consider these pillars to be harmonic in focus – each an area of significant environmental urgency, which the industry is well positioned to address.

Driven by rapid economic growth and improved electricity access, by 2050, emerging economies will account for 70% of global power demand. In OECD markets, demand expands just 13% between 2018 and 2050 while in non-OECD countries it will double over that period. It is evident where we should focus more on clean energy investments!
