Summary

The clothing industry is one of the world’s worst polluters, accounting for 8-10% of total annual greenhouse gas emissions. So what does a regenerative closet look like? Can we move toward seeing clothing as a true “investment” rather than simply fashion? If you liked this excerpt, get a 5-day free pass to Paul Hawken’s Commune course, Regeneration, at onecommune.com/regeneration. Regeneration is your invitation to join an inclusive movement for all members of humanity to address the threat of global warming — not with specific steps you must do to address a future existential threat, but with a vision for living right now that brings you more joy and meaning. This is how we will enact real change that serves humanity, now and into the future.

0:00.0	Welcome to Commune, a global wellness community and online course platform featuring some of the world's greatest teachers.
0:13.0	We're on a mission to inspire, heal, pass down wisdom, and bring the world closer together. My name is Jeff Krasno.
0:24.3	Today's lesson is an excerpt from my dear friend, mentor, just like the most wonderful guy
0:30.4	in the world, Paul Hawkins' commune course on regeneration. Paul is a legendary environmentalist and founder of Project Drawdown,
0:40.3	a nonprofit dedicated to researching and promoting the top 100 technological social and ecological
0:47.0	solutions to global warming. Now, if you feel paralyzed by the complexity and urgency for climate action, you are in the vast

1:30.4	blame. So today, Paul discusses an issue that is close to our skin, clothing. Now, if you happen to

1:54.8	clothing, then this lesson includes some eye-opening information as well as practical steps for having a more
