Gen Z adults are interested in using apparel rental services to reduce overconsumption, according to a new study
in the journal Sutstainability by Washington State University researchers. “The idea of apparel rental services is
growing more popular, especially among Gen Z consumers,” said Ting Chi, the corresponding author on the paper and
chair of WSU’s Department of Apparel, Merchandising, Design, and Textiles. “They are very interested in sustainable
consumerism, care about the environment, and are willing to make changes to help the planet.”
Chi and co-authors Lindsay McCoy and Yuan-Ting Wang surveyed 362 adults born between 1997 and 2002 from
across the United States. They found that the respondents were still interested in being fashionable, but didn’t need
to own a product. The study identified several factors that made clothing rental acceptable to Gen Z adults. The most
important, according to Chi, is the perceived effectiveness of making a difference. If consumers feel their effort will
have an impact, they’re more likely to accept a change.....
“They would get newer products more frequently than if they own an item,” Chi said. “The desire to get more new
articles of clothing made it more likely that they would try rental services.”
The idea of renting clothing isn’t new, people have been renting formal wear for decades, but expanding into
more daily situations is a major change for consumers. “That’s why we started by talking with Gen Z,” Chi said.
“They’re more willing to adapt to changes, and doing so to help the environment makes it even more appealing.”
In 2018, the most recent year statistics are available and consumers sent over 17 million tons of textiles to
landfills in the U.S., according to the Environmental Protection Agency. That’s an increase from around 13 million tons
in 2009 and 9.4 million tons in 2000. “We’re wasting too many textiles,” Chi said. “Americans are buying an average of
67 clothing items every year, but how many do we really need? They’re inexpensive but cause real environmental
damage. We need to make an individual effort to help the environment and one way to help is bringing in a sharing
economy.”
Chi and his co-authors plan to continue their research by surveying other generations to gauge their interest in
rental apparel.

Without an audience, men run slower and women faster. The lack of spectators during the coronavirus pandemic
appears to have had a noticeable effect on the performance of athletes at the 2020 Biathlon World Cup, a new study
by Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) in Psychology of Sport and Exercise shows. According to the new
analysis, women also performed better in complex tasks, such as shooting, when an audience was present while men
did not.
1Social facilitation theory states that a person’s performance is impacted if other people watch them. 2The more
presence of an audience improves that performance of simple tasks, especially those that require stamina. 3The
studies have been relatively clear so far. 4However, the results are more heterogeneous when it comes to more
complex coordinative tasks, “explains Amelie Heinrich from the Institute of Sports Science at MLU. 5In general, it is
assumed that performance tends to get worse when there is an audience.
Heinrich is a sports psychology expert. She coaches Germany’s junior biathlon squad. In her new study, she took
advantage of the special situation in sport caused by the coronavirus. She compared the running times and shooting
successes of male and female biathletes from the 2018/2019 seasons with their performances in the 2020 season in
the sprint and mass start events. “The men’s results were as expected : they ran faster with an audience present, but
performed more poorly in shooting, “says Heinrich. While cross-country skiing mainly requires stamina, shooting is a
coordinative task.
“Interestingly, it was the other way around for women. ”They ran slower in the presence of spectators, but on
average, it took them an entire second less to make their shot and, at least in the sprint, their scoring performance
was five per cent higher.
“To our knowledge, this is the first time that a study was able to show a different effect of the audience on men
and women, ”says Professor Oliver Stoll, head of the sports psychology section at MLU…..

Researchers have debunked the myth that extreme sportsmen and women are adrenalin junkies with a death
wish. According to Professor Braymer from Leeds Beckett University, there had been a gross misunderstanding of
what motivates people to take part in extreme sports. Many write it off as an activity for adrenalin junkies.
His research has shown that people who engage in extreme sports are anything but irresponsible risk-takers with
a death wish. They are highly trained individuals with a deep knowledge of themselves, the activity, and the
environment. They usually do the activity to have a life-enhancing experience. The experience is very hard to describe
in the same way that love is hard to describe. For example, BASE, jumpers talk about being able to see all the colors
and nooks and crannies of the rock as they zoom past at 300km/h. Meanwhile, extreme climbers feel like they are
floating and dancing with the rock.
Professor Schweitzer said understanding motivations for extreme sports was important to understand human. In
fact, extreme sports participation facilitates more positive psychological experiences and expresses human values.
These include humility, harmony, creativity, spirituality, and a vital sense of self.
He added that extreme sports participants found it hard to put their experiences into words. Thus, the research
project had taken a new approach to understanding the data. His research team did not employ a theory-based
approach which may make judgments that do not reflect the lived experience of extreme sports participants. Instead,
they took a phenomenological approach. By doing so, they were able to conceptualize such experiences. They could
also investigate the choices to engage in activity which may lead to death. However, such experiences have been
shown to be affirmative of life and the potential for transformation. Extreme sports have the potential to induce
powerful states of consciousness.... and provide a further glimpse into what it means to be human.

According to UNODC’s World Drug Report 2021, cannabis potency has quadrupled in some parts of the world
over the last two decades. Meanwhile, the percentage of adolescents who perceived the drug as harmful fell by as
much as 40 per cent. This perception gap prevails despite evidence that cannabis use is associated with a variety of
health and other harms. This is especially among regular long-term users. Moreover, most countries have reported a
rise in the use of cannabis during the pandemic.
“Lower perception of drug use risks has been linked to higher rates of drug use. The findings of UNODC’s 2021
World Drug Report highlight the need to close the gap between perception and reality to educate young people and
safeguard public health,” said UNODC Executive Director, Ghada Waly.
The COVID-19 crisis has pushed more than 100 million people into extreme poverty. It has greatly exacerbated
unemployment and inequalities as the world lost 255 million jobs in 2020. Mental health conditions are also on the
rise worldwide. These factors have the potential to encourage a rise in drug use disorders. Moreover, changes have
already been observed in drug use patterns during the pandemic. This includes increases in the use of cannabis and
the non-medical use of pharmaceutical sedatives. Underlying socioeconomic stressors have also likely accelerated
demand for these drugs.
In parallel, the report reveals that drug traffickers have quickly recovered from initial setbacks. These initial
setbacks have been caused by lockdown restrictions. The drug traffickers are operating at pre-pandemic levels once
again. The rise in the use of technology and crypto currency payments which are used to operate outside the regular
financial system drives it.

Access to drugs has also become simpler than ever with online sales. Major drug markets on the dark web are
now worth some $315 million annually. Contactless drug transactions such as through the mail are also on the rise. A
trend is possibly accelerated by the pandemic. Drug traffickers are now agile and adaptable in using new online
platforms to sell drugs and other substances. The combination of this situation and rapid technological innovation
may increase the availability of illicit drugs.
