Sustainable Fashion
Fashion refers to the clothing that we choose to wear. While fashion is a GREAT way to express yourself, we must think about how much we need, what materials are used to make our clothing, and if there are ways to reduce the amount that wind up in the garbage and landfills.

Upcycle: to use a material and turn it into something more valuable.
-
Repurpose: to use something in a different way ( example: shirt and tie changed into a bag!)
