Issue being tackled: Unsustainable and Unethical Fashion
Project goal: promote sustainable fashion, host an event that would keep old or unwanted clothes out of landfills. My community outreach project: Over the span of a few weeks, place collection boxes at FC, other high schools (maybe), churches (maybe) and have people donate clothing, shoes, jewelry, accessories (includes bags, sunglasses, hats, etc.). Host a flea market maybe in the vibe district or in FC student parking lot, football field, or gym if the weather is bad. Advertise online using canvas and have people spread it around. Not just FC students but friends, family, coworkers, etc. can come. Clothing will be priced - Tops = $1 - Shorts = $2 - Jeans = $3 - Jewelry = $0.50 - Bags = $3 - Shoes = $3 - Skirts = $2 - Sunglasses = $1 All funds will be used to pay expenses, any leftover funds will be donated to: ● Sustainable Apparel Coalition ● Eco-Age ● Fashion Revolution ● Redress - reduce textile waste in asia ● Ellen Macarthur Foundation All leftover clothes will be donated to thrift stores
