From school backpacks and men’s totes to gym duffles and travel bags, it’s no secret that we’re a little obsessed with bags over here at SPY. It makes sense; we test a lot of gear and travel a lot, so we need a way to carry all that gear. That’s why we’re always on the lookout for new bag brands, especially ones that prioritize sustainability. One new brand on our radar is Terra Thread, which makes totes, school bags, small accessory bags, and sling bags with the least impact at the forefront of all practices. Today, Terra Thread announced that it’s branching out into clothing, launching a collection of hoodies and tees. Like the brand’s bags, the clothes are available in a range of stylish colors and are made with organic cotton.

Most of Terra Thread’s bags are made from cotton, which is prized as a versatile, durable, and natural material. But not all cotton is created equally. Of course, it can be hard to tell how a t-shirt or bag is made just by touching it, let alone looking at it online. That’s why Terra Thread works with third-party organizations to certify the production of its fabrics. Their fabrics are GOTS certified, meaning it’s made without toxic chemicals. Terra Thread’s cotton is also Fair Trade and made in a Fair Trade Certified factory.

Terra Thread takes its sustainability commitments a step further by utilizing Regenerative Organic Alliance for its clothing. To be Regenerative Organic Certified, crops have to meet stringent requirements for soil health. Though it may not be seen as one, cotton is a crop that has an outsized impact on local ecologies, due to the large amounts of water, pesticides, and other chemicals that go into cotton production. The Regenerative Organic Alliance was developed in part by outdoor brand Patagonia, and Terra Thread claims it is only the second clothing brand after Patagonia to take part.

The collection has launched with a lineup of basics including zip-up hoodies, pullover hoodies and t-shirts in versatile colors like black, green, midnight blue, and beautiful burnt sienna. The pieces are all made from 100% traceable ROC cotton. The tees are unisex and retail for $26.95, while the pullover and zippered hoodie sell for $64.95 and $68.95, respectively.

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — The death toll in the Gaza Strip from the 13-month-old war between Israel and Hamas has surpassed 44,000, local health officials said Thursday. The Gaza Health Ministry does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count, but it has said that more than half of the fatalities are women and children. The Israeli military says it has killed over 17,000 militants, without providing evidence.

How AI and cloud computing may delay the transition to clean energy
A spike in electricity demand from the world's big data providers is raising a worrying possibility for the world's climate: a near-term surge in fossil-fuel use. Utilities, power regulators and researchers in a half-dozen countries told Reuters the surprising growth in power demand driven by the rise of artificial intelligence and cloud computing is being met in the near-term by fossil fuels like natural gas, and even coal, because the pace of clean-energy deployments is moving too slowly to keep up. In the United States, home to a third of world data centers, utilities are adding new gas plants and delaying the retirements of fossil-fuel power plants as a slew of sprawling new data centers plug in to the grid.

Greece's Socialist PASOK becomes main opposition after leftist party collapse
Greece saw a change in its main opposition party on Thursday after a wave of defections from the leftist Syriza party opened the door for the centre-left PASOK to challenge the dominance of rightist Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. The opposition shift will revive a more traditional battle for the political centre that dominated Greek politics before a 2009-18 debt crisis triggered years of social and political instability. Months of infighting and a leadership struggle have left Syriza with 29 lawmakers, two fewer than PASOK, in the 300-seat parliament.

UK's John Prescott: the bridge who held old and new Labour together for Tony Blair
John Prescott, Britain's longest-serving deputy prime minister who died on Wednesday, was indispensable to Tony Blair's New Labour government, a working-class trailblazer who connected with the public in ways most politicians cannot. Even after punching an egg-throwing protester during an otherwise carefully-scripted 2001 election campaign, Prescott, who died of Alzheimer's aged 86, weathered criticism saying he had just defended himself - an episode that earned him the nickname "two jabs". Born in Wales, Prescott was the bridge who kept Labour's traditional trade union supporters on side while its modernisers, former prime ministers Blair and Gordon Brown, shifted the party to the centre ground to help it win three election victories after nearly two decades in opposition.
