~~-Deal with the textile industry, one of the largest polluters in the world.~~
+The EU needs to be a global leader and set higher standards and trends in areas that protect the environment and reduce the impact on climate. The textile industry, one of the largest polluters in the world.
a. Invest in new technology to create fabrics that last longer and require lower consumption of water or other chemicals.
b. Obligation by manufacturers and stores to propose mandatory recycling of used textiles and encourage textile recycling plants.
c. Ensure a reduction in transport of raw materials from one continent to another. Clothing made from fabrics where raw materials are grown in one region of the world, then shipped to another for processing and again to third for manufacturing of clothes to be shipped finally to a fourth region should be taxed to discourage this practice. These taxes could be a sort of Environmental Protection Tax (EPT) that increases with distance and other factors. On the other hand, a more local manufacturing cycle should be granted subsidies or tax breaks. This provides less carbon imprints and local labor.
d. Educate citizens that style and fashion can exist, but the protection of our planet needs to be added in this equation. We need to think of the world we leave for our children and not just of ourselves today.
e. On a side note, create stricter EU rules to be applied to textile manufacturers around the world on the use of chemicals, protection of local employees and child labor. We need to set the trends and controls.
