Colossal Garment Manufacturing units such as these are common in Indonesia, built to quench the crazy thirst for fashion throughout the world, but the raw materials needed for such factories are creating irreversible havoc on the country’s water resources.

Why do we need a World Day to combat #desertification and #drought?
Each one us should be worried. Not only about the #deforestation or #climatechange but for our survival. We need to #buildbackbetter and the 2020 marquee event, under the theme #FoodFeedFibre, being hosted by South Korean Forest Department will be telecasting a series of digital programs to spread much-needed awareness about resolutions required to keep our land fertile and stop the rapid advent of #desertification. The event will be live-streamed on popular digital channels such as Facebook and Twitter. A United Nation Study has published alarming estimates.
Decoding the 2020 theme for #DeserticationAndDroughtDay: Why #FoodFeedFibre?
FIBRE – Fashion Industry produces more carbon emissions than the Aviation Sector.
FOOD – 1.3 billion tonnes of food is either lost or wasted every year due to humans led mismanagement.
FEED – Nearly three-fourth of the agriculture land in the world; almost 80% of it, is used for cattle grazing or to grow grains for the livestock.
