I had the honor of representing my school (Noble and Greenough School) at the James Pener Environmental Conference on May 3rd, 2024. I attended fascinating presentations from students across the greater Boston area. I hosted a workshop - "Lowering your Fashion Footprint" - to educate the students on the textile waste crisis and how they can help make a difference. Thayer Academy provided used clothing from their thrift drive which my workshop used to sort, upcycle, and reuse to give these garments a new life. I met incredible students who shared the same passion for the environment that I have, and left the day feeling inspired and energized.
