It's breathtaking and heartfelt to see youth so in-tune with the world around them and aware of the dangers and threats that so plague the world around us. Here stands a girl under the age of 18 highly concerned and aware of a global issue so many adults choose to ignore or are truly unaware. Not only does she stand up but she speaks up about the abuse and disservice we so readily provide to continuously damage the earth as we know it. This is an issue that affects us all; even those of us in the fashion industry.
“The fashion system must adapt to the reality that there is no strong difference between summer and winter any more… You can’t have everyone showing four times a year to present the same thing. People are not prepared to invest in these clothes that, from one season to the other, use the same fabrics at the same weight.”
“The whole fashion system will have to change,” Beppe Modenese, founder of Milan Fashion Week, told The New York Times last week.
Please let's strive to make a change in the way we live and treat the earth, many people feel as though one voice alone isn't enough to make a difference but it sure is a start and definitely better than doing nothing.
Do you ever wonder or ask yourself, "what can I do to speak up and invoke change?" If you haven't well you will after hearing the above video of a powerful voice from such a young person.
Please let us know what you're doing to provide a better world or things that can be done locally for others to begin the process of becoming involved in making a change and providing a more hopeful tomorrow.
What are some of your non profit fundraising ideas?
