Climate Change “Wrinkles Are Good” – Interesting and Important Salutary initiative of CSIR for its staff to avoid ironed clothes on Mondays –

CSIR (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research) has initiated the campaign in its Labs and Personnel across the country for “un-ironed attire” every Monday until May 15 as part of Cleanliness Fortnight.

It is said that ironing clothes can emit significant amounts to carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas contributing to climate change.   It is said that ironing each set of clothes amounts to emission of 200 g of carbon dioxide.   By wearing non-ironed clothes, one can prevent emission of carbon dioxide.This is one of the untiring efforts to create awareness for energy conservation and environmental sustainability within the scientific community and collective commitment.

One of the salutary object is to tackle carbon emissions linked to daily routines.

The initiative highlights substantial carbon footprint associated with conventional ironing practices.
