Sustainable Styles by Soroptimists

Join SI Logan for an afternoon of fun, fashion and learning about sustainable practices.

Every year, over 300,000 tonnes of clothing is either sent to landfill or exported from Australia (Australia Institute, 2024)

How can you reduce this occurring in your local community?

The World Environment Day theme is to ‘Beat Plastic Pollution’. What can you do? How does it relate to clothing?
