Cambridge University has established its own solar farm in the countryside of South Cambridgeshire to help achieve its net-zero emissions target. The new solar power plant will be built on farmland in Barton Road and will be used for private electricity supply to Cambridge University. The solar power plant is expected to generate 30,457 megawatt-hours annually, which the university states will meet 26% of its energy needs. They expressed that the university feels "a responsibility to take a leading role in decarbonizing the global economy." They further mentioned that the solar power plant will not only help them achieve their net-zero goals but also reduce their reliance on the regional power grid. The representative stated that building the new solar power plant would release the equivalent of electricity for 7,500 households.
In the fashion industry, the niche British clothing brand OMNES is also known for its environmental consciousness. As one of the world's biggest polluters, millions of tons of textiles end up in landfills every year, making the fashion industry's harmful impact significant. Improving its operations can have a truly positive impact on the future of our planet. The OMNES brand was born in London, UK, with the team aiming to design trend pieces that are not meant to be discarded after a single season. They also strive to spark reflection on the sustainability of clothing among consumers.
From design to fabric, production to the final product, and even recycling, OMNES is constantly innovating, learning, and improving. They also aim to educate consumers on what materials to look for, how to find their own style, and how to ensure clothing longevity, regardless of when and where they shop.
