Waste Learn About & Practice Sustainable Fashion

How can you express your personality, creativity, and values in ways that don't require fast fashion or buying more clothes and accessories?

Ava Wright 1/15/2021 8:15 PM

Expressing your personality and creativity doesn't require purchasing new clothes or fast fashion. Participating in clothing swaps, buying second-hand clothing, or shopping from eco-friendly brands (materials that required little water and fertilizer, non-harmful dyes, etc) can allow you to be fashionable without contributing to the environmental harm caused by fast fashion.

This diet has caused the evolution of a meat industry that relies on the mass production of meat, unethical practices, and harm to the environment because transporting meat pollutes the planet. Eating a large amount of meat may have negative impacts on one's health.
