Get your very own Devyani sign! If you're with me on building a solidarity city, one that's actually on your side, I'd love to personally hand you a sign for your lawn or window. And if you live on an intersection maybe you need a bigger sign of the amazing COPE council team!!

When scientists have gone from calling unnatural disasters "climate change crisis" to "climate change classics" we have a problem. A problem perpetuated by a billionaire-backed fossil fuel industry who seem to think what is hurting us all right now, won't affect them.

Fast fashion staple Forever 21 just filed for bankruptcy in the US for the second time in 5 years, and is set to close hundred of stores. Is this a win for sustainable fashion, or just a sign of the times? Here are our thoughts, what are yours?

Background photo of Forever 21 store with signs reading “20% OFF” “FIXTURES, FURNITURE, AND EQUIPMENT FOR SALE” Photo credit in top right corner reads “Photo: Raysonho/Wikimedia Commons”. Text reads “Once a global fast fashion giant with over 800 stores, now filing for bankruptcy in the US. What does the end of Forever 21 tell us about sustainability in fashion?” Arrow icon in bottom right corner.

Cream-colored background. Text reads “1. Climate action matters to customers (or at least a lot of them) OK, it's not all good news. Forever 21 execs essentially said that they lost their customers to Shein and Temu, not to more sustainable stores. But isn't it interesting that the fast fashion brands that HAVE started to do more to clean up their act, like H&M, UNIQLO, even Zara, haven't been steamrolled by Shein?” Temu and Shein logos to the right of text. Arrow icon in bottom right corner.

Cream-colored background. Text reads “2. Quality matters, and quality is

sustainable. If Forever 21 lost out to online stores, it's because when people buy in person they can tell when what they're buying is going to last, and going to keep looking good. This should be a wake up call for brands to give shoppers that positive retail experience that they want: garments that feel good and last, and can be repaired and reshared.” Arrow icon in bottom right corner.

Cream-colored background. Text reads “3. Faster isn'+ always better.

Forever 21 famously grew its stores at warp speed, massively overextending.

But failed to notice when the world was looking to slow down. Second hand and vintage shopping is becoming increasingly popular in the US, and thrift shoppers know a miss when they see one and avoid ultra-fast fashion pieces like the plague.” Arrow icon in bottom right corner.

No, the world has not breached the 1.5C global warming target. It’s a climate target - which means it’s an average that must be sustained over at least a decade. We currently sit at 1.2 C. Which is already very bad. The science is clear: every bit of warming matters, every action matters.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

The LA fires are heartbreaking not only bc of the scale of the devastation but bc we've had 50 years to prevent it. The oil industry is responsible. They denied their own science & warnings, slowed down the shift to renewables and electric cars while making billions in profits. This is the result

Just because he said it doesn’t mean it will happen the way he said it. So, not counting on that 25% tariff as a given. Nonetheless, him saying it is not good and a signal of what is to come. And if even if it only partially comes to be, it’s going to be hard on people on both sides of border.
