Think of us
2
3m of Arctic ice melts every year
when my school's year 7 class buys only 3 uniform items
123g
154g
Making my school's PE kit releases 3.93KG of CO2 per uniform.
​
That’s 491.5KG of CO2 for 125 year 7 students each year.
442g
And making each blazer releases 6.28KG of CO2.
That’s 785KG of CO2 each year if everyone in year 7 bought one.
Sub-total: 1276.5kg of CO2
​
My school's uniforms are made in at least four different factories in Pakistan and China.
Transporting them to the UK adds 17.1KG of CO2
Made in Pakistan
9.3 kg of CO2
Made in Pakistan
Made in China
5.3 kg of CO2
2.5 kg of CO2
Total CO2 = 1353.2kg
which is about the same as:
Extracting over 550L of oil
Powering a house for half a year
Flying London-New York return
Which does not help this:
The stickers show where my school's families are from
Many of these countries are already suffering severe heat, flooding, and storms.
We shouldn't be wearing climate change
