Have you ever considered the environmental impact of your wardrobe?
Unfortunately, as the fashion industry has accelerated to one of the dirtiest industries on earth, our consumer impact is bigger than we might like to think. Now accounting for 10% of global carbon emissions, it’s built upon overproduction and overconsumption. Harming both the planet and the people, all in the name of fast trends and low prices.
But just like you, we love clothes. Fashion is a creative expression and it’s part of our identity.
So how can we maintain our passion while avoiding the guilt of the garment's footprint?
By choosing to Slow Fashion down.
As consumers, the power is in our hands. By choosing well, buying less, shopping second hand and caring for our clothes, we’re slowing the wheels of the machine. Together, we can influence industry to make real change happen.
In the first WAO Green Drinks of the year, hosted in collaboration with Wastebusters, we’ll get inspiration from three industry-insiders who are making that change a reality. Don’t miss out.
- Peri Drysdale - Founder of Untouched World (via zoom)
- Natalie Norman - Head of Production at Mons Royale
- The Wastebusters Reuse & Reduce Team
The most sustainable clothes are the ones that already exist, so as part of the evening we’ll also host a clothes swap!
Bring up to 10 items (make sure they’re clean and in good condition), to refresh your wardrobe with garments that don’t cost the earth.
As always, Green Drinks is open to everybody so bring a friend, grab your $5 tickets and let's talk about how we can slow fashion down. Get your ticket now and we'll see you at Après on the 28th Feb!
Once tickets have sold out, latecomers can go on the waiting list - so if you see you won't be able to make it, please cancel your attendance, so your ticket can be offered to someone else!
