“…Therefore, companies should increase customer knowledge of environmental issues by educating them and communicating through media, not only about the causes of environmental pollution, including manufacturing process, dye process of textile and fibers, but also about the benefits of sustainable products, including sustainable fashion. Khan et al (2020) show that environmental knowledge can be improved by using awareness activities on sustainability issues in the University setting. The authors also suggest that increased awareness of environmental issues can change the sustainability awareness positively, which will ultimately lead to a sustainable environment.…”

This paper investigates factors impacting on sustainable fashion buying intention of consumers by reviewing studies about the topic and conducting a survey with consumers in Ho Chi Minh City. In detail, firstly, an interview with 15 respondents was conducted to check the understanding of concepts and questions and, secondly, the study used the convenient sampling method, with 172 samples collected and analyzed, of which young respondents accounted for the majority of the sample. The respondents tend to go shopping many times in a year, with the number of people buying fashion products from every week to every two months accounting for 65.2% totally. The findings suggest that the firms should prioritize strategies that can improve customer attitude toward sustainable fashion, making them feel good, pleasant, satisfied and favorable when engaging in sustainable fashion consumption. This study concludes that consumers need more information to enable them to make better ethical decisions. This study proposes that the major channels that consumers use to seek sustainable product information include public education, peer influence, and corporate marketing information about the products. This study concludes that public education and corporate marketing information on green consumption education is effective for improving consumer sustainable buying intention.

“…The ecology crisis happens when there is profit maximization with extreme effort, included in ethical and unethical ways, such as environmental harms (Khan et al, 2020;Lako, 2018). Investors consider profit as not the only investment evaluation, but also environmental issues.…”

This research aims to examine (1) the effect of carbon emission disclosure on firm value, (2) the effect of good corporate governance on firm value, (3) the mediating role of financial performance between carbon emission disclosure and firm value, and (4) the mediating role of financial performance between good corporate governance and firm value. The research sample includes 43 mining, agro, and manufacturing firms listed in the Indonesian Stock Exchange over the 2015-2017 period. Carbon emission disclosure is measured by an indicator of the Global Reporting Initiative Series of Environmental Aspect. Good corporate governance is measured by the corporate governance score of shareholder rights, boards of directors, outside directors, audit committee and internal auditor, and disclosure to investors. Financial performance is measured by return on assets, while firm value is measured by Tobin's Q. Data analysis uses the structural equation modeling. The result shows carbon emission disclosure and good corporate governance have no direct effect on firm value. On the other hand, financial performance mediates the effect of carbon emission disclosure and good corporate governance on firm value. It shows that higher carbon emission disclosure and good corporate governance are meaningless for the investor if they do not give any financial performance improvement.

“…Water is an essential element that contributes to sustaining life on the planet, creating cities and flourishing industries (Khan et al, 2020). The management of fresh water resources is important for policy makers under the influence of climatic, social and economic factors (Osman et al, 2019).…”

The current study was conducted on the course of the Tigris River passing in the district of Al-Dur / Salah Al-Din Governorate, with three stations distributed along the distance of the study area, for the period from the beginning of November 2021 until April 2022. The first station ST1 is located near the water purification project of Al-Bu Ajil area and the station The second station, ST2, is located at the crossing, and the third and last station, ST3, is located near the Al-Dour silo. The study included the measurement of some physical factors (air temperature, water temperature, electrical conductivity) and some chemical factors (pH, total hardness, calcium ion, magnesium ion). The results showed that the air temperature ranged between 12-22°C, while the water temperature ranged between 8-20.5°C. As for the electrical conductivity, it recorded values between 499,54-679.45µs/cm, while the pH values were neutral. Its levels ranged between 7.34-8.04, and the total hardness may have been affected by the geological characteristic of the land on which the water flows in the stations, and it was found that its water is hard, which may be mostly caused by the bicarbonate ion.
