Sustainable Fashion

with Circular Thrift

You love fashion, but it has a waste problem. Lisa Goldsand of Circular Thrift will share ways that you can have a positive impact and reduce that waste without losing your style, taste or joy.

There is an abundance of clothing EVERYWHERE, including that received by national charities. The export of 2nd hand clothing creates an environmental challenge outside of the US and is in need of reevaluation and redesign.

Let’s see how excess clothing can be sorted at a hyper local level, and channeled through another round or two of local ownership. A change in consumer behavior can result in reduced consumption/production of new clothing, increased use of what has been produced, and thoughtful reallocation of end of life materials. Ultimately this can reduce the GLOBAL negative impact of fashion.

Join the effort in reducing our environmental impact by celebrating self-expression and connection among our community through sustainable fashion choices.
