LENZING, Austria, Dec. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

-Over 40 brands, influencers and NGOs partnered with TENCEL(TM) brand's 
#MakeItFeelRight movement to generate more than 7,500 consumer pledges to date 
-Each pledge will contribute to global reforestation efforts to help save the 
planet


According to the UN, the fashion industry is responsible for 8-10% of global 
carbon emissions. Fast fashion has only exacerbated the problem as consumers 
are increasingly purchasing clothes with reduced shelf lives. The world is 
striving to achieve net zero carbon, but the reality is that fashion brands 
simply aren't doing enough. In response to growing climate concerns, TENCEL(TM) 
brand revitalized the #MakeItFeelRight campaign to raise awareness and inspire 
action to make a change. By pledging to #MakeItFeelRight, consumers can do 
their part to drive the industry toward a more sustainable future and 
contribute to the reforestation effort. 

New faces, new places and more ways to get 
involved                                                      

The TENCEL(TM) brand's game changing 
#MakeItFeelRight(https://www.makeitfeelright.com/) campaign has hit new 
milestones and celebrates exciting partnerships with more influencers, brands 
and NGOs around the world. With the help of sustainable influencers like Xenia 
Adonts(https://www.instagram.com/xeniaadonts/?hl=en), Lily 
Cole(https://www.instagram.com/lilycole/?hl=en), Chen Ai 
Ling(https://www.instagram.com/chen_ai_ling51/?hl=en) and brands including 
Boyish, Reformation and Lavender Hill, the movement has planted thousands of 
trees to combat carbon emissions from the fashion industry. The TENCEL(TM) 
brand has also begun an exciting partnership with renowned artist, Bodil 
Jane(https://www.instagram.com/bodiljane/?hl=en) to create unique artwork for 
the campaign. These empowering pieces were used on the campaign's website and 
are a tribute to those who have pledged to #MakeItFeelRight.

Gram, jam and show off your fashion

The TENCEL(TM) brand has created fun ways to get involved with an exclusive 
Instagram filter and gift card giveaways from the movement's brand partners. 
The movement has already given away thousands of dollars to lucky people who 
have pledged. 

"We could not be happier to endorse such an exciting, timely and effective 
movement. As an environmentally friendly brand, Boyish has been working with 
TENCEL(TM) for several years and values the brand's similar principles and 
stalwart approach to sustainability. The industry has a long way to go in 
combatting waste and fast fashion, but with movements like #MakeItFeelRight, 
people are finally empowered to take action and choose brands that are caring 
for the planet," said Jordan Nordarse, Founder and CEO of Boyish.

"Carbon emissions are a global problem and as such must have global solutions. 
As a partner of the #MakeItFeelRight campaign we strongly believe that 
TENCELâ„¢'s sustainability initiatives, which are enabled by brands and driven by 
consumers, are a great way to make a positive impact through reforestation. We 
encourage more brands to get involved and do their part," said Diana Chaplin of 
One Tree Planted.

late to still pledge. Together with One Tree Planted, TENCEL(TM) is providing a 
pledge certificate to everyone who commits to the cause and will plant a tree 
in their name.

"We have a collective duty to be more responsible with our sustainable fashion 
choices. Our habits and the way we treat textiles directly impacts the planet. 
The TENCEL(TM) brand has already achieved a significant milestone with 
thousands of trees planted and I would like to acknowledge just how much this 
campaign has achieved in a short time. Pledge, pledge pledge! It's an amazing 
way to contribute to a more sustainable planet and create something impactful
