Fashion, Readymade Garments, and Textiles are responsible for air, water, and soil pollution that is threatening carbon emissions, global warming, and climate change. Bangladesh is a country which is the 2nd largest RMG exporting country. Bangladesh is earning its bread from the cost of environmental pollution and induced climate change. (Pic: Internet)
It's a very interesting question. I am following it to learn about it. Thank you kindly for sharing. Best regards
Dear Dr. Bhuiyan,
More information is needed about the size of the pollution caused by the textile industry such as the amount of greenhouse gases emission mg/year, volume of polluted water...etc
Regards
Mohamad M. Awad Ildefonso Gustavo Díaz Sandoval
Yes, sir, That's why I asked the question here. I need your kind help, references from your country, or from your acknowledgment. As it is timely and a huge question, I need more participation here.
Thank you very much.
Mohamad M. Awad Ildefonso Gustavo Díaz Sandoval
Bangladesh, China, Vietnam, and India are earning a lion's share of the readymade garment and fashion sector which is earned the cost of environmental pollution. Due to water contamination, the aquatic biodiversity of the countries is totally destroyed. Many fish, animals, and aquatic plants are totally endangered. Water-born diseases spread with the threat of agriculture.
I recommend you to read my following article:

Dear Sir, thank you for your comment ad contribution here. Could you imagine the water and soil pollution in Bangladesh led by RMG and the fashion sector, we are producing for developed countries like you? We have lost many of our fish species, water animals, aquatic plants, and microorganisms related to our agriculture.
We are suffering much from the cost of fashion production for riches.
One shouldn't ethically undermine others by suppressing a negative comment. Rsearch is customised and questions comes from the problems that arise one ends, maybe not for others.

Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for your timely attachment here and I think it will help me to go further.

Phil Geis
Yes, we are . Not only we are alone as a nation but many countries for their structural development and political malpractice environmental pollution is taking place. manufacturing countries like China, India, Brazil, Germany, Japan, France, Italy even the USA are the front line including my country. Yes, the country from the EU and US are not as same as me as they have taken steps of mitigation but we are a far away yet.. We are killing ourselves.
Thanks
Md Zafar Alam Bhuiyan
"killing ourselves"- is that melodrama or do you have data re. the garment industry.?
Again - the title, your title, is Biodiversity & Climate Change. What are the data that indicate the garment industry is pivotal to those?
Bangladesh "global warming" emissions are miniscule
Phil Geis
Thanks for your query. Not melodrama at all. Global issues are considerable but being a tiny country, and its people of around 20 core, Bangladesh is overburdened with pollution, in a global scale it may be less than 1 percent but in the case of the country it is huge. Why not? I am working on a project financed by the WB regarding RMG-induced climate change.
Melodrama is not a word to be used in a formal space sir!

Md Zafar Alam Bhuiyan
"Fashion, Readymade Garments, and Textiles are responsible for air, water, and soil pollution that is threatening carbon emissions, global warming, and climate change."
Here are the estimated relative emissions by sectors. - the garment industry globally does not even register. https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector
yes - for carbon emissions, global warming and climate change - claimimng impact is melodrama.
Phil Geis
I have corrected this by narrowing my question from Biodiversity to aquatic biodiversity: which is much more relevant to the present situation of this country. Our major rivers are polluted due to the contamination of RMG effluents. Most aquatic species including fish are extinct as they couldn't continue in the adverse situation of water (its chemical properties, toxic ingredients.
Not only that, aquatic plants like water lilies, lotus, fugues, and hyacinths are also in perilous conditions.
Phil Geis
Please read carefully my previous answer and I think you can guess what are the data. For your acknowledgment with kind regards, research is a customized process, vary man to man according to the depth of knowledge, research philosophy, problem identification, and the path s/he thinks to find out the solution(s). YES, Research follows some standards, not rules. So there are lots of criticisms, whenever one thinks his /her research is the best.
Thank you very much for your queries.
Phil Geis
If you think and support you are a scientist in this discipline you must know what types of data are being used in this type of research.
Phil Geis
I think you are a wise man. Maybe you might not have data, but how are you confirmed, the same to me? Data have enormous dimensions when you are going to claim that, Textile/RMG /fashion wastes are contaminating the water. Water quality based on physical (color, odor, etc), and chemical analysis may guide you to numerous data, which are harmful to the environment and the causes of water pollution.
I told you before, please be noted once again, Bangladesh is a riverine country and our major rivers are fully damaged by the Textile Effluents. Most of the aquatic species are not available (like fish, water snakes, algae, fungi), etc.
Yes, you may have a choice, you can leave as your wish. Maybe you are a great figure and I am not you here. My research philosophy is not as you like. I am sufferings from the problem, you are outside of the situation. Lots of respondents( scientists, hydroengineers, environmental scientists are here and secondary data are available also).
Thank you very much for your time and contributions that will help me.
Regards.
You have NO data yet make affirmative claims. Not only is that antiscientific, it offers no valid argument against the real commercial and employment numbers that claim benefit.
"Most of the aquatic species are not available (like fish, water snakes, algae, fungi), etc." - on what basis do you make this claim?
Most of the aquatic species are not available (like fish, water snakes, algae, fungi), etc." - on what basis do you make this claim?-- Regarding our past and present record of observations, it is simple. YOU are an expert in lab science, but not everything. YOU are going out of ethics in the discussion.
This is a research thread, not an argument /debating session.
LET US STOP.
Károly Lázár
Thank you very much for your contributions here. I have glimpsed your article and I think it will help me to a great extent. We are suffering much regarding the environmental pollution induced by RMG and the fashion sector.
Research? Research generates objective data. You've no data - how do you know " Most of the aquatic species are not available (like fish, water snakes, algae, fungi), etc.". The answer is simple - you do not know it to be true. Some would call it a typical lie of environmentalism.
Bangladesh is a low-lying riverine country where hundreds of rivers are flowing encircling the Dhaka Division, Chittagong, and Cumilla where water is much polluted. It has hundreds and thousands of reports, by researchers that have claimed to destroy fish, aquatic animals, and plants. Though the attached report is mainly from textiles, mainly fashion, especially the RMG sector is responsible much as textiles including knitting, weaving, surface decoration, washing, etc.
https://www.textiletoday.com.bd/impact-apparel-industry-biodiversity-possible-interventions
Md Zafar ...
It's a news article in a trade journal - not a "report" - that cites a report of theoretical global impact -of the global garment industry not Bangladesh.
Whereas the Bangladesh clothing industry may have a local impact - it is irrelevant to global warming and global aduatic biodiversity.
Károly Lázár Mohamad M. Awad Ildefonso Gustavo Díaz Sandoval
The world is thinking much about the sustainability of fashion which aims to address SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 12 (Sustainable Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life below Water), and SDG 15 (Life on Land), as well as SDGs 1, 5 and 8 (Poverty Alleviation, Gender Equality and Decent Work and Economic Growth) (UNEP 2022chttps://www.unep.org/resources/publication/sustainable-fashion-communication-playbook).
We are working comprehensively to augment the maximum output from the drive naming green fashion through the circular economy with the help of our stakeholders. You know, Bangladesh has been awarded many times for its leading green fashion. Still being a small country with a huge population Bangladesh is a threat to its ecological existence due to environmental pollution causing threats and imbalances in biodiversity.
Károly Lázár Mohamad M. Awad Ildefonso Gustavo Díaz Sandoval
Circular economy principles are gaining recognition and importance worldwide as a means to promote sustainable development and mitigate the negative impacts of traditional linear economic models. Bangladesh, known for its significant presence in the ready-made garment (RMG) sector, has the potential to leverage the principles of the circular economy to enhance sustainability and efficiency in this industry.
The RMG sector in Bangladesh is a key contributor to the country's economy, providing employment opportunities for millions of people and accounting for a substantial portion of its export earnings. However, the linear nature of the industry, characterized by the "take-make-dispose" model, poses significant challenges in terms of resource depletion, waste generation, and environmental degradation. By transitioning to a circular economy approach, the RMG sector in Bangladesh can address these challenges while unlocking new economic opportunities.
One essential aspect of the circular economy is the concept of reducing waste and maximizing resource efficiency. In the context of the RMG sector, this can be achieved by implementing practices such as design for circularity, where products are designed with the intent of being reused, repaired, or recycled. By using durable materials and designing garments for disassembly, the sector can extend the lifespan of products, reduce waste generation, and minimize the need for virgin resources.
Furthermore, implementing a system of reverse logistics and take-back schemes can facilitate the collection and recovery of used garments. Instead of ending up in landfills, these garments can be sorted, repaired, or transformed into new products through recycling or upcycling processes. This not only reduces waste but also creates new business opportunities for local entrepreneurs and promotes the development of a circular economy ecosystem.
In addition to waste reduction, energy efficiency is another critical aspect of the circular economy. The RMG sector in Bangladesh can adopt renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Energy-efficient technologies and practices can also be implemented throughout the production process to minimize energy consumption and optimize resource utilization.
To foster the transition to a circular economy in the RMG sector, collaboration and partnerships among stakeholders are vital. This includes collaboration between industry players, government bodies, academia, and civil society organizations. By working together, they can develop and implement policies, regulations, and incentives that promote sustainable practices, support research and development, and create a favorable environment for circular economy initiatives.
Moreover, raising awareness and educating stakeholders about the benefits of the circular economy is crucial. Training programs can be conducted to educate workers, managers, and designers about sustainable production techniques, waste management, and circular design principles. This knowledge and skill-building will enable the industry to embrace the circular economy concept and drive innovation toward more sustainable practices.
In conclusion, the RMG sector in Bangladesh has the potential to embrace the principles of the circular economy and transform itself into a more sustainable and resilient industry. By reducing waste, maximizing resource efficiency, adopting renewable energy sources, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders, the sector can mitigate its environmental impact while creating economic opportunities. Embracing the circular economy will not only benefit Bangladesh but also serve as an inspiring example for other countries and industries to follow.
Károly Lázár Mohamad M. Awad Ildefonso Gustavo Díaz Sandoval
This writeup has clearly described how Bangladesh is addressing its RMG sector through a circular economy:
......Circular models of production shall concentrate on the production leftovers, which at the moment, an average Bangladeshi RMG factory generates between 250 and 300 kilograms of waste fabric every day.
The pricing varies upon the quality and size of the waste fabric, starting at Tk10 and rising to Tk300 per kilogram. The catch lies in the fact that any scrap of cloth can be recycled.
In fact, large scraps of the wasted cloth are sold to local vendors for making items that are mostly marketed within Bangladesh, some are shipped to India. Additionally, Dhaka’s bedding sector is reliant on these scraps for items like mattresses, pillows, cushions, seat filling and cushioning in automobiles, public buses, and rickshaws.
Interestingly, the nation houses a very high demand for t-shirt waste, namely the rejected t-shirts. A number of clusters have developed around the nation with Pabna identified as a prominent one, with numerous local entrepreneurs in villages who have created jobs for between 25,000 and 30,000 people and annually make 18–20 crore units of apparel, predominantly t-shirts, valued between Tk1,200 crore and Tk1,500 crore.
This surely states how such apparel can simply not be just counted as a waste but also be used in upcycling in adapting the new order of a circular economy within this industry.
Whilst the execution of a circular economy depends greatly on government policies, research and industrial practices, the main initiative is on the part of the consumer and conscious consumption.
This model is based on the philosophy of prevention as opposed to cure and consists of actions that are to be performed prior to recycling – namely the precycling habit.
With the ever-changing trend in global manufacturing models, the previously applied linear method manufacturing while displaying its inherent deficiencies was proposed to be replaced by a new circular vision of an economy in the textile industry, which shall minimise waste and pollution by reusing items.
The next generation businessman involved in running the heritage of the RMG industry of Bangladesh has gladly welcomed the change, while addressing the environmental concerns which it entertains, alongside a progressively altered consumer behaviour alongside an added incentive of the customers who are prepared to support the sustainable items as well.
The nation’s apparel sector has readily passed the message around the globe that the sector is ready to embrace the change.
The Global Fashion Agenda (GFA), Reverse Resources, P4G, and the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) have formed the Circular Fashion Partnership (CFP) to combat waste and resource depletion caused by textile manufacturing by fostering the growth of Bangladesh’s recycling industry.
The GFA has identified two workstreams for the initiative: The first workstream involves the production of new garments from recycled waste, while the second involves the establishment of a circular fashion stock marketplace for overstock garments that have accumulated as a result of cancelled orders over time.
The partnership aims to draw a dialogue between major fashion brands, textile and garment producers, and recyclers, to capture and repurpose post-production waste. Additionally, in the post-Covid-19 period, it aims to address the dead-stock piled up from the cancelled orders, besides addressing other economic hurdles and prospects.
A textile waste tracking and trade network promoting the circular economy concept is conceivable to replace 40% of waste materials from garment manufacturing with recycled fibres by 2030.
Waste management is inefficient due to the mixing of garbage with industrial waste that lowers the value of the trash. Additionally, waste is physically sorted and sold by a network of intermediaries, requiring recyclers to pay about 30% more than the market rate.
For a nation like Bangladesh, the choice had not been an easy one to shift from linear to a circular model of production, and this ambitious transition comes with its own set of challenges, where the nation needs to be supported to adhere to the continuous development of a circular economy.
Bangladesh has the asset of a competitive wage labour group, and hence the circular economy model’s labour market implications need to be analyzed beforehand.
The shift to a more circular economy is contingent upon repositioning clothes as a durable rather than a throwaway commodity and so, instead of launching numerous lines and collections each year, fashion businesses will now have to redirect their focus on designing and producing higher-quality garments in a circular economy.
All this while, Bangladesh has been the hub for fast fashion and with reduced output in production, the new shift in paradigm may mean subsequently reduced working hours and/or job losses.
Additionally, the adaptation of new circularity policies may involve the successful implementation of digitalization and technical advancements in the apparel sector, which may overall complicate the nation’s labour market.
Hence the nation can be seen transitioning from its comparative strength – competitive cost labour to high value-added production. As much as the new transition shall add value to the brand image of “Made in Bangladesh” products, the country might lose on its competitive price advantages.
There shall be a new cost of research and development as none in the apparel and textile sector reserves the knowledge and/or expertise to make the shift seamlessly without expert opinion, hence the cost of hiring specialists will possibly increase the short term costs thus affecting the competitive advantage of the nation.
In a nutshell, the overall state of the economies, the shift in practices of the world market, the post-Covid-19 anticipated state and the graduation from LDC, requires the shift to a circular economy from the linear model of production. The shift shall not be a smooth one but the challenges must be faced with the most progressive attitude.

An extended post that no one (but its author) will read offers no substance to a ridiculous concept. Yes - it will take a dictatorial government to install and will compel global production to more favorable political and economic environments.
the objective should be to address the immediate impacts of emissions rather than using it as a lever to install ones pet economic/political system.
All research is not for you dear friend. Much high-end research has limited space and even language to explain. Personally lab research is not for me as I don't like much calculation. YES, that is my imitation, but it doesn't mean that I dishonor that. Every researcher is not a scientist and each cant think critically. I respect all.
A toxic person has nothing positive. Being my senior YES, I can welcome any positive learning for my growth even though you are not an expert in my discipline. Man has an endless journey to acquire knowledge. Is there anyone who is supporting you? None.
Being stubborn, keeping egoism is not a credit. Yes, I am not good at communication. But being a good communicator do you think this is a place for personal attack? You must respect others to be respected by the same.
Thank you very much
Toxic? No, I do not find you toxic - just insistently ignorant of the subjects you claim to address. Again - you clearly know nothing of Bangladesh economy, dynamics of global warming or species loss. Please understand, to the extent the garment indsutry pollutes, the impact is local . Inflating it to a global issue merely diverts from addressing the local aspect by looking externally for help - that is not coming..
I excuse your personal attacks and suggest that you respond to disagreement with facts and reelvant arguments - not complaining your hurt feelings.
Yes, sir. I am from Bangladesh and my area of study is multiple. Development Studies is one of the post-graduations. I am from Bangladesh and have worked in academia (University level in Fashion, Environment, and Development fields) and the RMG sector for a long time. My PhD is on Climate Change, Forest Management & Biodiversity. I am a man who is a pioneer in the RMG research field of the country... I have started RMG Research formally in this country. Many things I don't know which are known to you, but I oppose "you clearly know nothing of Bangladesh's economy, dynamics of global warming or species loss."- Again, your sentence is objectionable according to the ethical standard of research. You cannot demean a person directly saying,''you know nothing about.......!'' This is a thread where my students are also here and many of my friends are also connected. How do you assess a man with a negative/ burning disagreement with a direct? Please be soft and ethical in your language.
Thank you
From Bangladesh - of course. It is clear you do not understand the environment and econmic issues you insistently misrepresent. 1% of GH emission is totally irrelevant to Bangladesh, and I'm still waiting for species loss due to garment indsutry. No doubt there is pollution, and it is an issue for Bangladesh to address - not the rest of the world.
The only economic information in this discusson is mine and projection by another.
"Pioneer" - appears self aggrandizing. Please tell us what you've accomplished re garment industry emissions and discharges.
First mind your language and learn how to deal with an issue. I don't think you are the appropriate person to take my exam here. My issue is not global but rather concentrated in my country. And I will request you please see your previous answer and find me in the thread/Google/Academia. I will hope you will not poke your nose here.
Again, no response of anything concrete relevance to the environment issues. Have you anything of technical or scientific substance to offer?
Your "exam" ? An examination of what - your "Pioneer" status? Do students memorize your CV?
Please understand - this forum exposes your comments to folks who are better informed and are, unlike your studenbts, are not compelled to noddingly accept your inaccurate claims and "Pioneer" status. When challenged with data - it is more useful to offer data that formed your opnion rather than displeasure that some disagree.
I challenge you to bring reality to your concerns.
What are garnent industry GH emissions - by chemical and tonnage, in context of total emissions - globally and in Bangladesh?
What are specific garment industry impacts on biodiversity - by species and region?
Please consider this a take home exam.
The we may address your original question

- https://www.tbsnews.net/thoughts/save-rivers-sustainable-development-433466 (......People's occupations, agriculture, livelihoods and literary culture are all directly or indirectly dependent on these rivers. But it feels as if there was a lack of determination and goodwill on the part of those concerned about the occupiers and polluters.
Rivers must be protected by putting the national interest above the interests of all kinds of individuals and groups. At various times, the government has conducted evictions of illegal establishments, but these measures never completely followed through and the remnants of those establishments spread and spread like cancers on the river banks.
There are policies and laws to protect the river, but they have not been implemented to their fullest extent. Water management needs to be done properly and the rivers should be allowed to flow normally.
Experts have mentioned that in the last 40 years, the uninterrupted rivers in Dhaka, Chattogram and surrounding areas have been subjected to extreme levels of pollution.
As we stand about waiting, more and more industrial waste is being disposed of in Buriganga, Turag, Tongi canal, Balu, Shitalakshya and Dhaleshwari. Moreover, Buriganga is also the destination of all household waste from the capital. And these wastes are coming into the river without any treatment.
According to a recent study, 11 types of harmful metals have been found in the waters of different rivers in Dhaka and Chattogram. These heavy metals include more than acceptable levels of zinc, copper, iron, lead, cadmium, nickel, manganese, arsenic, chromium, carbon monoxide and mercury.
These heavy metals from industrial waste mix with water to create serious pollution at the bottom of the river. Especially in the dry season, the concentration of harmful metals in river water rises.
Consequently, the oxygen levels were found to be almost zero at several points in Buriganga, Turag, Balu, Shitalakshya, and Karnafuli rivers. Without adequate oxygen in the water, it is almost impossible for fish or other aquatic life to survive.......
Is there any opposite of the above threads? If yes, please attach it here. Otherwise, this argument will not be ended anytime.
Yes - read them. Nothing regarding climate change or biodiversity - not that CNN, "thirdpole" et al. would be competent to address either.
Indeed there is pollution and it's Bangladesh to fix - not the rest of the world. Complaining and waiting for action by other countries re. climate change and biodiversity is a distraction.
The argument is indeed ended. Stop your irrelevant distraction to climate change and biodiversity and fantasies of sustainability and circular economy. What are you doing re. this pollution?
Don't poke your dirty nose here. You never deserve to be a researcher, rather a stubborn with toxic language. I never claimed it's a global issue. You may be a scholar for your discipline, not for everything. Please don't cross your limit. Be polite, and soft in your language. I will hope if you have a little sense, you will not poke your nose here. Do you have any recommendations from any researchers? Any follower of you? Many scholars have the same complaints against you. You are totally out of research ethics and that's why you haven't a profile picture also here! First, learn the RESEARCH ETHICS AND SOCIAL BEHAVIOR. STOP PERSONAL ATTACK & READ the content I have attached here and then come for bargaining with others. If I was to confirm the answers to the question I wouldn't ask them here. However, it doesn't mean that without any proof you will say whatever you like!
Your response is nothing but ad hominem and personal attack. This is inappropriate. With following comments - I shall abandon this discussion. As I was about your only correspondent, this leaves you to talk to yourself.
My comments have directly addressed your claim that the garment industry in Bangladesh impacts climate change and biodiversity/species loss - these ARE global issues. Please do not be angry that these claims are shown to be false - in fact, to be ludicrous.
Please understand, as a scientist I address the reality of the question. I asked for your data and saw none. However, the stoichiometry re. climate change is obvious and you've not identified a single impact ln biodiversity. The fantasies such as circular economies are irrelevant.
I understand you are not a scientist but do suggest you pay attenion to the subject.
Philosophical knowledge is the main driver to qualify you and your research. Even my students may know better than me. I even have to learn from the forest guards, gardeners, sweepers, farmers, and street beggars.
RESEARCH has no boundaries, limitations, and even nothing perfect BUT SOME STANDARDS TO FOLLOW to make it as insightful.
Your research philosophy is based on insulting others, undermining the fellows. When you belittled others, you are also going down with the stream. Last few days, I have searched your all comments on others' research. Hardly I have found your criticism rather than making others abuse by your words. Here, you are spreading poison, rather than sharing your good thoughts. Personally, I have contacted many scholars, and vice versa.NONE responded mentioning you as a positive researcher here.
My friend, valued scientist, are you OK with you at all? for your kind information, I don't want to ignore you here. DATA have various forms and different dimensions. Even a streetman, knows better than me about road violence. Will you go to him for numeric data/or data from lab science for identification/activities of road outbreaks of violence? I don't know what will be your answer here. But, I will go for the qualitative data based on the interview, and another researcher may go for the case study. If there huge budget and time for the research, I will go for an ethnographic study fixing a sample, and location with triangulation of other methods, like content analysis. So, what will be the outcomes of the research if I go for analysis by NVivo? I think you know better than me.
Thank you very much for your time. I have attached a research paper available in a journal connecting the questions raised here. Please go through and add your comments.

@Md
Clearly, you are unable to think critically and to take technical criticism. I've tried to help you understand science - a data-based concept that demands the those making a claim defend it. You do not - and can not.
Your proposition is absurd on its face and you do not defend it. Hiding your embarrasment behind angry whining ad hominem is childish and petulant. I pity your students - seeing you modeling such behaviour rather than learning.
AGAIN - Bangladesh estimated GW emisisions are de minimus (1% or less). COMPLETE elimination would be of no consequence.
WHAT aquatic biodiversity do you mean? Your claim demands demands your proof.
I request your technical response but expect more whining ad hominem as you likely are ignorant ot the science..
Note- think you changed to cartoon in your original post. why?
Again, and again, without reading anything, knowing anything, you are attacking me. You know nothing about research being an unethical contributor. Do you know about qualitative research? I don't know lab science and that is not my chapter at all. Not only me, but all other people are also saying you are not adjustable in this forum.
Learning research, YOU GO TO LEARN ETHICS, from your family, primary teacher and society.
YOU READ THE STUFFS
I challenge your ignorance.
Science is demanding my friend. If you make a technical statement be prepared to justify. It is cowardly to whine and attack those who challenge that statement. You are an adult and I am not a student afraid to question and challenge unpounded claims.-
AGAIN - Bangledesh GH emission are de minimus and irrelevant to GW.
AND WAHT bioversity do you claim is impacted by pollution from the Bangledesh garment industry.
Here are the data
1) Bangladesh garment industry GW emissions are de minimus - < 0.007% of global emissions.
https://ourworldindata.org/co2/country/bangladesh#year-on-year-change-what-is-the-percentage-change-in-co2-emissions
Bangladesh share is ~0.25 % of global GH emissions (with virtually no legacy emissions) - 3% of which are industry/manufacturing based.
https://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/pa00msk5.pdf
2) Whereas the garment industry (esp. including leather production) is a significant source of aquatic pollution - one source major source of which is also ground water itself (As). Though it certainly impactful re. bioversity locally in specific surface water, I found no evidence that it impacted global biodiversity.Article Urban river pollution in Bangladesh during last 40 years: po...
Hope this helps. Happy to consider any data relevant - but please not another cartoon!!.
This issue is local, not global my friend. Come Bangladesh and see the actual situation here. Never ever, have I mentioned the issue as global.
Bangladesh is a small country with riverine geography, marshy agr-land, and densely populated. This water and environmental pollution caused by RMG is fatal for this country, in a global context it may be ignorable.
You are drawing attention in the global context!!! why? In your lab science, the qualitative method of research is not acceptable, I know that. You need evidence and data. Ok. But QUALITATIVE research is a huge part of the world of research, where the dimension of data and its types have been considered differently.
I never attacked you personally but you used some words out of research ethics. Read your previous answers. Just answer me why there is none following you, recommend your answers? I think you should think seriously.
Please do not be disingenuous. "., responsible for ...climate change" is a global context - as effect of carbon dioxide is gobal not local and global warming is a technically and by its own title a global phenomenon.
You're whining and ill informed attack regarding "ethics' was indeed personal.
These both are technical/scentiifc questions to this point, you have failed to address in context. To your question How do Fashion,Readymade Garment and Textile of Bangladesh are responsible for Aquatic Biodiversity & Climate Change? I have provided the only answers.
Do you have any others questions?
I admit, climate change is measured in a global context but it has local impacts in my country additionally, the industrial/manufacturing economy has a great impact on environmental pollution, which is the law of development ( take-off stage of Rostows Growth Theory).
I agree you are a scientist but you have ethical rights to say wrong or right anything as none/nothing is perfect in research. I like totally stop with you as you are out of my area and all about low standard sentences you have used in your all answers with me and others. I respect and will request please don't poke your nose by being a person with a fake ID. If you want to debate with me in an open forum with other scientists in my area, I agree. How helpless you are, you couldn't manage a follower here because of your substandard and worthless contributions. PiTy friend.Goodbye !!
Md
As you now admit, your comments were wrong factually and technically.
Please - your whining ad hominem and personal insults are childish tantrum. Please try to communicate as adult and accept that you were wrong. And further, stay in your lane - as it appears you are not familiar with the relevant of science.
1. Learn how to behave with others on a global platform
2. Go to the library and learn qualitative research from the research philosophy( ontology, epistemology, anti-positivist, post-modern research paradigm,
3. If not possible, please ignore my post. Some professors mentioned you as a PEST, If you have a little respect for yourself, please don't poke your nose everywhere. When some treat you as a PEST, your family also gets the blame being not teaching the norms, values, ethics even self-respect.
Better be a technician, not a researcher.
Research has many dimensions that you don't know,
Your answer depicts the truth of the darkness of knowledge
This world is not yours,
Thousands of researchers are here and they are against you,
But you are so shameless being an obdurate man,
Md
You are indeed a vain pompous fool.
Recall the question YOU offered initiating this discussion.
"How do Fashion,Readymade Garment and Textile of Bangladesh are responsible for Aquatic Biodiversity & Climate Change?"
I answered this question.
Now what is the motivation for your continued ignorant whining other than your bruised adolescent ego??
Once again you have used an unethical word.You know nothing better than that. I requested you several times not to need your ugly contribution here. Please learn behavior first. Your family could not teach you...so pity and disappointed...

Again, science does not care about your bruised ego. You may well intimidate your students by holding their grades hostage. Here, you must defend your comments with facts or find them rejected, as in this discussion.
Again, I recommend you seek counseling or psychiatric intervention.

Dear Phil,
Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately, none termed me a Pest but your threads are full of vulgar words that have downed your identity, honor, and everything. Maybe you know lab science, not research, which is a function of a lab technician. Qualitative research is a vast area in which you know nothing. Only You and I are not here but thousands of my well-wishers, around the world. I have no problem visiting a counselor. Even you do not know that merely an out-racked person doesn't visit a counselor, rather everybody should visit at a time to check their mental health. It is not an offense. Thank you for your advice.
This is my learning place. I have learned that there is also a person like you in the world! I never made wrong arguments with anybody but YOU. You have hidden your face, and identity, which is not the work of a confident, competent, and normal person in a global platform. You have not a single supporter here because none likes your unethical words. I am surprised at how shameless you are! You have maligned your family, even your nation! I don't have an ego that you have. Please manage one supporter from your side. I know it is not possible for you. FROM, now onward I won't reply to any of your dirty language as you are not better than a Street-man without an identity. You may say whatever you like.
Good grief you are a whiner. Again - your questions by which you initiated this discussion were answered. Your bruised ego has you offering nothing but ad hominem and whining that your feelings are hurt.
Is it possible you could act like a mature individual, a man, and accept the compelling factual information provided that appeals to what should be obvious? Your immature whining reminds of an adolescent child.
Ready-made garment factories that dye, wash and colour textiles, and cement and medicine manufacturers, among others, have been discharging wastewater into the Buriganga, Shitalakshya, Turag, Dhaleshwari and Balu rivers indiscriminately, even though there is a legal prohibition against this, Hossain adds.

Textile is the largest of Bangladesh industries but what has dye discharge have to do with the subject of this discussion - "Aquatic Biodiversity & Climate Change"?
Resolution of issues such as dye discharge are tbelong to Bangladesh. Inflating these as global issues merely makes them insignificant vs. real factors to these global concerns.
