Ice core records show that temperatures suddenly soared several times during the last glacial period. A new study has found evidence that these sudden spikes may be triggered by a slow rise in atmospheric CO2 levels, up to a “tipping point” that abruptly affects ocean circulation and global climate.

| A breaking report has just linked European fashion giants H&M and Zara to factories responsible for devastating pollution around the world. The companies are already feeling the pressure — we can push them over the line to action. Will you add your name and demand that H&M and Zara clean up their act? |
H&M and Zara have just been linked to devastating pollution in Asia. The clothes many Europeans love to buy and wear are made with fabrics from factories that dump untreated, toxic water directly into rivers and streams [1]. And while they say they are concerned, they haven’t committed to stop sourcing from these deadly factories if the pollution continues. It’s up to us to demand they act now.Investigators who visited these factories knew straight away that something was seriously wrong. Water quality tests and conversations with locals confirmed the truth. These factories are devastating local environments and communities. The worst thing is, it doesn’t have to be this way. Clean production technologies already exist and could be widely implemented, if brands like H&M and Zara demanded them.H&M and Zara have responded to public pressure before to change their practices. After all they depend on all of us to buy their clothes — or not. These companies are already getting slammed in the media, and now we need to hit them where it hurts --- their customer base. If tens of thousands of us strike them with our messages they will have to acknowledge us. Are you in?

If we across Europe demand a change, then H&M and Zara will have to listen. And together, these huge companies have the power to get the factories to stop their pollution. All that’s missing is our pressure to get it to happen.
