Terran Can Speak To:
1. Earth Day itself, it's history, it's 55th anniversary in 2025 and why EARTH ACTION DAY is all about. She can too discuss all aspect of fast fashion's impact on the planet in particular. From the impact on human health to how it impacts local communities. To that end Terran can speak to alternatives to fast fastion - what textiles to buy, what labels to look for, how to use thrifting and vintage to suppliment your wardrobe and add value, and why hiring high end fashion labels and clothing is even a great option!
