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 @amazonaustralia and @awscloudanz 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 @lokahifoundation (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! ❤️
