It's hard to refute reports like these, because they do more good than harm. In fact, they're completely harmless (depending on how in-depth they are in terms of environmental impact ). But what's most important is that they're not just seen, or heard — the CFDA plans to host four events throughout the year focused on discussing the work in the report — but that they're taken seriously. Though designers are not yet required to adhere to sustainability standards, it's findings like these that could change, if not revolutionize, industry-wide attitudes and practices. Let's hope so.
