Carbon Footprints
Julia is eager to be a conscious customer, and she is fighting the fashion industry’s environmental effects. With clothing consumption at an all-time global high, it is no wonder that unsustainable environmental policies are depleting the precious resources of the earth.

Negative Reactions
Disgust is the most common reaction she has received. Some individuals just think that every day wearing the same clothing item is not hygienic. And her reply is food for thought.
