Did you know the fashion industry is the second biggest polluter on the planet? As someone who cares about the environment - but also loves to buy and make clothes - this bothers me. So today I joined with many of my Amazon colleagues to volunteer at Thread Together, who take donations of new, unsold clothing from retailers that would otherwise go to landfill, and instead give it to people who need it. We assembled boxes; we unpacked pallets of stock; and we filled orders for delivery. I helped pick clothes for women and kids at a shelter, a single mom with babies, and an older couple. We also got to hear how Thread Together partner with other organisations, like the amazing Rachael Natoli at the Lokahi Foundation Australia (who support victims of domestic violence in Sydney). I felt really inspired by what these folks are doing, and I will definitely be donating and volunteering again in the future. Thanks to Amazon and my colleagues who pitched in today! ❤️

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
