Life only changes when we have great ideas and take action. If we work hard without great ideas, our days will likely feel meaningless. Conversely, if we only think about great ideas without taking action, nothing will actually change. Great ideas aren’t just big thoughts; often, they are small and trivial ones that are easier to implement. No matter how many doors there are, if we don’t open them, they’re just walls. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Cotton needs 500 mm of water to produce cotton wool, and 1 kg of cotton wool requires 8,500 liters of water to fill 40 baths. A fashion company can make a pair of jeans from this. It needs at least 2,700 liters of water to create a T-shirt. This amount is enough for one person to use as drinking water for three years. Clothing consumption has recently increased by an average of 60% each year on Earth. The Aral Sea in Uzbekistan was the fourth-largest lake in the world, but it has now shrunk to one-tenth of its original size, as river water has been used to grow cotton due to increased consumption. Few people are concerned about how their consumption affects the global environment. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
