Dear Reader,
“When my friends and I make things better for people close to home, as well as slowing environmental damage and climate change, we feel better.” Those are the words of today’s Climate Champ, 18-year-old student Ulwiana Mehta-Malhotra, writing in Canada’s National Observer about her work.
The clothes-loving teen wants to help her friends and classmates break up with fast fashion in favor of swaps and thrift shopping, even creating a climate conscious newsletter to offer advice and guidance on how to make the shift personally or bring the initiative to other schools and organizations.
Fast fashion has an outsized impact on carbon emissions, contributing up to 10% globally, according to a Bluedot feature entitled Fashioning a Better Future.
Ulwiana hopes her work breaks the apathy that she sometimes sees in her generation and, perhaps, sparks something in others who will carry the work and ideas further into the world. Dot is grateful for the Ulwianas of the world, making things better for all of us and feeling good about it!
If you’re looking for guidance on which online sites offer the best secondhand clothes, look no further than Bluedot’s Sophie Kelly, the member of the Secondhand Sisters who tests out the various options. Char, the other Secondhand Sister and a recent fashion design graduate, offers videos and tips on how to fix, tailor, and style your secondhand finds.
Thriftily,
Dot
