Fortunately, fast fashion is an issue we're hearing more and more about. Nice presentation. Not only did you explain the issue and how it negatively impacts our environment, but you actually organized a clothing swap. I can imagine that students were better able and/or more willing to participate in a clothing swap since it took place in a dorm. Did you organize this by yourself? Do you plan to organize more clothing swaps in the future?
I love this presentation. It is an interesting issue area that can impact how people shop. I hope you continue to build on the clothing swap and get to do something like a sustainable Project Runway .
Great Job!
I loved the clothes swap! I hope that you will still do work with the textile museum that is such a great idea to involve them in your work!
I like the clarity of your presentation. I would like to see you elaborate on your future plans. Would love to see you arrange more clothing swaps to expand on your impact
As many have said above, I'd love to know more about your future plans. Seems like you had a couple ideas for partnerships across GW, which I think would be very beneficial in expanding the reach of your work. Great job so far!
Great presentation and a really important issue. I would be interested in learning more about how we can support more clothing recycling
