Please join the San Fernando Valley Climate Reality Project on Tuesday, January 9 at 7:00 PM for a chapter meeting with guest speaker Jessica Schreiber, Founder and CEO of non-profit FABSCRAP, and Karri Ann Frerichs, CEO and Founder of Circular Fashion LA.
Tons of fabric and materials from the fashion industry end up in landfills. But did you know that 10 pounds of fabric kept from landfills has the same CO2 reducing impact as planting a tree? Recycling fabrics also reduces water consumption by at least 50%, and prevents dyes and chemicals from leaching into the soil. Our guest speakers will share their innovative efforts to reduce, recycle and upcycle tons of pre and post consumer fabric and materials in surprising and inspiring ways.
