Introducing the Eco-Toga
'The start of a new tradition'
It is the tradition in academia for professors to wear a long black gown during formal cortèges and academic events. It is meant to signify wisdom.
Some traditions become static, while others develop with the times. As a new professor with an interest in Sustainability and Climate Change, I wondered how best to ‘walk my talk’, starting with my toga? An academic gown is made of cloth: fabric that has an impact on the planet like all products we consume. Could it be produced in a more eco-effective way?
This new academic gown (Toga) signifies a unique experiment in eco-fashion and is specially made to celebrate the cooperation between Professor dr. Gail Whiteman and sustainable fashion label DutchSpirit. The Eco-Toga is made of Returnity fabric. The fabric is Cradle to Cradle (C2C) certified and care has been made to produce it with a low environmental and social impact and is after use totally recyclable on the same level!
Of course, an Eco-Toga cannot save the world (even if it is the first). But this small act of innovation by like-minded individuals is a step in the right direction.
As Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
