Sixth Formers Organise Ethical Fashion Swap Shop
Isn't it great when an idea becomes reality? We were already proud of Soph
ie, Jess, Yasmin and Grace for winning the Rotary Environmental Competition for Claires Court Sixth Form in April, but they did not stop there. They took their idea for reducing the negative effects of the fast fashion industry and made it happen. Did you know The fashion industry is currently responsible for more annual carbon emissions than all international flights and maritime shipping combined?
Our Sixth Form students are always looking at ways to make a difference; and they did so by going through their wardrobes and donating their 'unloved' clothes. Everyone that donated an item came to replace it with an alternative one; they all had a great time looking at, trying on and taking their new clothes home, giving them a new lease of life.
Did they make good choices? Well for our planet certainly; and we think they look great too!
