January 9th - FABRIC RECYCLING and FAST FASHION

Tons of fabric and materials from the fashion industry end up in landfills. But did you know that 10 pounds of fabric kept from landfills has the same CO2 reducing impact as planting a tree? Recycling fabrics also reduces water consumption by at least 50%, and prevents dyes and chemicals from leaching into the soil. Our guest speakers will share their innovative efforts to reduce, recycle and upcycle tons of pre and post consumer fabric and materials in surprising and inspiring ways.

Legislative Advocacy Training

This is the second part of our legislative training series, focusing on our advocacy with elected representatives. We need help and support from climate advocates to send strong bills to the Governor's desk for his approval. There are lots of opportunities for action in the legislative process. We make it easy for folks to get involved! The first training in the series, held on Dec. 6, focused on how the legislature works. People who sign up for this second training will also receive a link to Part 1.
