Since the government announced a five-year trial to reintroduce beavers into the wild, more areas within England have been getting involved. Almost 400 years after beaver extinction in the UK, the government has realised the advantages of beavers within our ecosystem and committed plans to reintroduce them.
In the 16th century, beavers became extinct in the UK due to hunting for their fur, meat, and glands. Recently, beavers were successfully reintroduced in parts of Scotland.

The fashion industry is also the second-largest consumer of water worldwide, requiring 700 gallons of water to produce one cotton shirt! This is an unacceptable figure especially when 780 million people worldwide don’t have access to an improved water source.
Additionally, the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of humanity’s carbon emissions and that figure equals more than the emissions caused by all international flights, and maritime shipping, combined!
