Greenpeace Indonesia holds a Make Something Week 2019 in Jakarta on 7-8 December 2019 to raise concern about consumerism. During year end seasons, the consumption from clothing is predicted to increase. High energy use is another reason why “the textile industry is considered one of the most polluting in the world”.

The purchase and use of clothing contributes to about 3% of global production CO2 emissions or over 850 million tonnes (Mt) of CO2 a year, from the manufacturing, logistics and usage such as washing, drying and ironing.
