Sustainable Clothing Alternatives
As a group, we sought to reveal areas of our lives as students that are often overlooked in the realm of sustainability. We each decided that clothing is far too greatly never considered when one decides to live a “green” lifestyle. Our objective is to make our student body aware of the importance of wearing and supporting sustainable clothing. We have created a brochure to spread to make clear the definition of “sustainable clothing,” the benefits of supporting the industry, and sharing stores in the Charlottesville area where students can acquire these products. We have also created a display that we will install at a tabling location in Newcomb Hall this Thursday, December 9th. We hope the display will make the reality of sustainable clothing more prominent and in turn spark conversation and care for the subject. This location was chosen due to the high traffic of the dining hall nearby.
