Carbon Footprints
Julia is eager to be a conscientious buyer, and she is also combating the fashion industry’s environmental consequences. With the consumption of apparel at an all-time global high, it is no wonder that unsustainable environmental policies are depleting the earth’s essential resources. Julia avoided adding to her carbon footprint by choosing a fair-trade hemp dress from a London-based clothing company called ‘Thought.’ So how have people reacted to Julia’s project?

Negative Reactions
The usual reaction she has gotten is disgust. Some individuals just assume that it is not hygienic to wear the same clothing item every day. Julia replied to them with food for thought by saying, “I just tell them: this is not a project about hygiene. I wash it as needed. I come to work clean. Lots of people wear uniforms, and they are not assumed to be dirty.” Julia’s one outfit 100 days challenge has another thought-provoking takeaway.
