“In an effort to engage our Lowcountry Clothing Shops for Climate Action alliance, this educational event will uplift the work of local sustainable fashion leaders, initiate discussion on the connections between clothing and the climate crisis, and promote climate conscious consumption. Collectively the alliance partners are working towards a world where fashion has a healing impact on the environment and people.”
