'It's important since we're here at the environmental march to only wear thrifted clothes because fast fashion is horrible for the environment.' ClimateStrike

“Everything I’m wearing except for my choker is thrifted. I love thrifting. Here in the city it's harder because everything's curated but it's just more sustainable. I’m trying to stop buying fast fashion so I only shop second-hand or purchase vintage online. Fashion is one of the biggest producers of waste in the world. I go to a fashion school so I'm trying to be more conscious of what I purchase.

“I actually got this top yesterday on Depop and I met up with the seller in person because the shipping was going to be too expensive. I’m from Georgia and there's just so many good thrift stores there. I always find so many amazing places that I love. I feel like [thrifting is] a good way to recycle and make fashion still fashionable while being sustainable.” -Gabby“Every time I shop I think about sustainability. I live right near a Goodwill. I go there or rewear my sister’s clothes a lot.

There's always new fashion coming out and I think it's a really cool art form, but I also wish we could use old things and cut them up into new pieces and stuff. That's a really cool way of creating but recycling stuff [that already exists]. And it can look even cooler.”
