Peachtree | Atlanta

— Atlanta, Georgia

Savannah to Atlanta for the post-birthday weekend in September last year. It was a 4 hour long bus journey with Greyhound. Pleasant city with super friendly people!

Did you know that a completely different textile can be created from the cotton plant? 😯 Cupro is a regenerated cellulose that derives from cotton linter - the tiny silky fibres that stick out from a cotton seed and are too small to spin. Similarly to Tencel and Modal, Cupro is a plant-based fibre that is chemically-processed to be mass-produced. Currently, Japanese manufacture, Asahi Kasei, is the only owner of this textile - which is said to be as smooth and luxurious as silk, but a more eco-friendly alternative! Unlike silk, which comes from silkworms, Cupro is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, and since it's plant-based - it's also biodegradable and easily recyclable. ♻️ Although it's chemically processed, being produced in a close-loop system allows for the chemicals and wastewater to be reused. Being invented in the 1900's, i'm so curious as to why I've never heard of it or seen it on any clothing labels before, but definitely hope to wear it someday!

Every morning, I enjoy going through newsletters from brands that i’m subscribed to as my daily digital content inspo, while feeding my fury against consumerism... One brand in particular that has caught my attention is @nastygal, a fast-fashion e-commerce brand that spurns new styles on a regular basis and puts out a sale WAY TOO FREQUENTLY. Once in a while is ok, but every other day...? 😷😰🤔 👇🏼 Sales put me off because not only do they immediately attract and urge us to shop for no reason at all, but they devalue the brand and its clothing by not taking into consideration it's true COST, whether that be social, environmental or business. With 70% of our purchases being done at a discount, our desirability for material goods has evolved over the years as we no longer have an emotional connection or value for the things we buy. 👇🏼 By Nasty Gal putting its clothing on sale every week, It’s clear that they're trying to offload unwanted styles and excess inventory. Similarly to how @hm was stuck with US$4.3 billion dollars worth of unsold inventory last year. ‼️ This can and should be avoided as much as possible in this day n age considering all the tech & forecasting tools available to anticipate demand for new styles each season. Knowing that markdowns squeeze retailer's profit margins, i'm curious to find out whether their workers are still paid fair wages, where they source their raw materials from and whether they track the true cost of their garments. ❓ #fashion #fastfashion #shopping #nastygal #boohoo #sale #summer #style #sustainability #slowfashion #ecoconscious #fashionrevolution #whomademyclothes #organic #vegan #shopless #choosewell #anticonsumerism

My dad’s coffee shop, @coffeewagera, is making waves by setting a new benchmark for sustainability & zero-waste in the F&B industry - and I can't express how proud I am @mushpanjwani ! ☕️A couple things they do - (1) encourage dine-in by charging an extra Rs. 10 for takeaway cups, (2) mix sugar while making the coffee so customers don't require sugar packs and stirrers, (3) CW does not sell plastic water bottles, unlike EVERY other restaurant and cafe in the WORLD, because they have a water dispenser with clean glasses where everyone can drink water for free, (4) water wastage is used for plants, while used coffee ground is sold as skin exfoliation and soil fertilizers - and these are only a few examples! Just imagine the amount of waste that would be eliminated if every fast-food / cafe chain in the world started incorporating these super easy and simple steps into their business models... 🌿🌎💧 #pakistan #karachi #dining #food #drinks #coffeeshop #cafes #localbusinesses #sustainability #zerowaste #environment #ecofriendly #circularity #dreamy #community #empowerment #nature #climatechange #reduce #reuse #recycle

A lil #throwback to the @youthfashionsummit last year, where we worked on crafting solutions towards SDG #5 (Sustainable Development Goals - Gender Equality) in the fashion industry to present at the @copenhagenfashionsummit 🤩 Using @theofficialpandora as a case study, we came to find that for something so deeply rooted within communities, education needs to be the key catalyst in developing effective cultural narratives to aid value chain collaboration and transparency. Although there may not be much clear improvements within this SDG scope since there are still endless cases of gender discrimination, many brands are working towards other sustainability initiatives for climate change and more. This year, one of the most exciting and groundbreaking revelations at the summit (in my opinion), has been the partnership between @google and @stellamccartney 😻 If you haven't heard already, "the tech giant and eco-luxury brand plan to track the environmental impact of cotton and viscose, two of the most commonly used fibres in clothing. Their goal: create a tool that can quantify even the most obscure links in the fashion supply chain." - as put by @bof. With google's data algorithms and analytic tools, brands will get a much clearer view into the very initial stage of their supply chain - the sourcing of raw materials before it goes into production. Super excited to see what their little experiment yields, and hopefully some day the same technology can be used to combat gender inequalities and workplace discrimination. 🙌🏼
