Carbon Footprints
Julia is eager to be a conscious customer, and she is also battling the fashion industry’s environmental effects. Due to the growing consumption levels of clothing worldwide, unsustainable environmental policies are depleting Earth’s precious resources. Julia avoided contributing to her carbon footprint by choosing a fair-trade hemp dress from a London-based clothing company named ‘Thought.’ How have people responded to Julia’s project?

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. “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 100-day challenge with one outfit has another thought-provoking takeaway.
