REFLECTION QUESTION
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?

My friends and I do seasonal clothing swaps! This is such a fun way to mix up your wardrobe without buying a thing. Additionally, I have been doing embroidery on my clothes to express creativity. It's a fun hobby and gives everything you own a personal touch.

Fast fashion uses so many toxic chemicals that leech into waterways, affecting the water supply of underprivileged communities while also polluting waterways with microplastics that kill aquatic life. Everything we purchase has some sort of impact and we have the power make smart decisions!

  I use mesh produce bags and love them! I also bring my own reusable bags everywhere - I carry one in my purse just in case. I also have gotten in the habit of bringing my reusable coffee cup and if I forget, I just go without. It's really interesting the changes we can make by just being a bit more mindful. Great job on the changes you're making, Annalise!
