Productieproces van Katoen

De grootste producent van katoen ter wereld is China, met een productie van 25,5 miljoen balen per jaar. De Verenigde Staten (17,6 miljoen balen) en India (12,5 miljoen balen) zijn de volgende grootste producenten. In Europa is Griekenland de grootste producent met 1,7 miljoen balen.

Cola bestaat voor een groot deel uit water. In de fles zoals wij dat kennen is de siroop al gemixt met het water en is de cola direct gebruiksklaar. In de horeca doen ze het anders. Daar wordt de siroop aangeleverd door de groothandel en wordt in een post-mix apparaat het water en koolzuur toegevoegd

Coca-Cola argues that if they can meet their target of using 1.2 litres of water to make each bottle of their beverages, they will be the world’s most efficient maker of soft drinks.

2010–2019 was the warmest decade on record – wildfires, heatwaves, flooding, hurricanes, storms, thawing of permafrost and collapsing of glaciers and whole ecosystems. Many lives, especially of those in the most affected areas, have been lost or dramatically changed. We are in a global emergency that affects all of us. ⁣

If we are to stay below an increase of 1.5°C in global temperature we need to act now. ⁣

In their COVID-19 recovery, governments need to focus on creating green jobs, ending fossil fuel subsidies, and aligning any industry bailouts with international goals to limit global warming, and integrate sustainable development principles into all decision-making. ⁣

Together we can make this a turning point #ForPeopleForPlanet and #TurnItAround for #climatechange! ⁣

Around the world, 9 out of every 10 people breathe unclear air. It causes an estimated 7 million premature deaths every year. Air pollution also threatens the economy, food security and the environment. This week marked the first International Day of Clear Air for blue skies. #WorldCleanAirDay ⁣

“As we recover from the coronavirus pandemic, the world needs to pay far greater attention to air pollution, which also increases the risks associated with COVID-19. We must also urgently address the deeper threat of climate change […] We need dramatic and systemic change. Reinforced environmental standards, policies and laws that prevent emissions of air pollutants are needed more than ever. And at the international level, countries need to cooperate to help each other transition to clean technologies […] Let us work together to build a better future with #CleanAirForAll.” - António Guterres @antonioguterres, UN Secretary-General ⁣

The world’s been turned upside down. This Global Week to #ACT4SDGs, Sep 18-26, while world leaders meet at the UN General Assembly, join millions of people and organizations everywhere to demand governments stick to the plan. ➡️ http://act4sdgs.org ⁣

This is a turning point #ForPeopleForPlanet. Let’s #TurnitAround in the right direction and recover better together! ⁣

The Paris Agreement’s central aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the agreement aims to increase the ability of countries to deal with the impacts of climate change, and at making finance flows consistent with a low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient pathway.

Greenhouse gases are gases in Earth’s atmosphere that trap heat. They let sunlight pass through the atmosphere, but they prevent the heat that the sunlight brings from leaving the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapour are the most important greenhouse gases.

As of May 2019, 194 states and the European Union have signed the Paris Agreement. A further 10 states have signed but not ratified the Paris Agreement; Angola, Eritrea, Iran (1,30%), Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Libya, South Sudan, Turkey (1,24%), Yemen. Total percentage 3,09% of greenhouse gases emission of this states. Top-5 carbon dioxide emitters states for the year 2018, China (27,8%), U.S.(15,2%) India (7,3%), Russia (4,6%), Japan (3,4%).

40% of people around the world don’t have regular access to clean water. Poor infrastructure is putting them at greater risk from #coronavirus.

In South Sudan, reaching the nearest water point often means walking for hours which makes frequent hand washing is nearly impossible here.

The virus can affect anyone but it doesn’t mean its effects are equal.

met hun aantal liter

katoen en uitrekenen

hoeveel water en nu

echt in zit.


bv. een emmerwater

bevat 10liter maar

gemaakt uit

katoen ...liter

Embryo -> 80% water

Zuigeling/ Baby -> 75% water

gemiddelde mens -> 55 à 60 % water

1 kg katoenen shirts -> 2500 à 2700 liter water

1 liter Coca Cola -> 1,57 liter water

De gemiddelde watervoetafdruk van de Belg -> 7.400 liter water per dag

Het eerlijk wateraandeel -> 5.500 liter water per dag

De gemiddelde watervoetafdruk van de wereldbevolking -> 3.400 liter water per dag

Mijn watervoetafdruk -> 4.172 liter water per dag

Berekeningen

-> ( 55% van je gewicht) = aantal liter water in je lichaam
-> ( 55% van je gewicht): 1,57 liter = aantal liter Coca Cola er kan gemaakt worden met het aantal liter water in je lichaam
-> 1kg (2500 liter : ( 55% van je gewicht)) = het aantal kg katoenen t-shirt er met het aantal liter water in je lichaam er gemaakt kunnen worden

-> je eigen watervoetafdruk : ( 55% van je gewicht) = het aantal keer dat je jezelf in liter water gebruikt per dag
-> 5500 liter water : ( 55% van je gewicht) = hoeveel keer je jezelf in water zou mogen gebruiken

-> (25OO liter : 180 g) x 815g = aantal liter water in de katoenen emmer

Voorbeeld

55kg

-> 30,25 liter water
-> 19.27 liter Coca Cola
-> 0.012 kg katoen shirt

-> ik verbruik mij zelf als water 137.92 keer per dag
-> volgens het eerlijk wateraandeel zou ik mijzelf 181.82 keer in water mogen gebruiken per dag

-> katoenen emmer = 11.319,5 liter water

19,27 liter Cola
