Emily Snee | I tracked my closet for 2 months & THIS is what I learned!! @EmilySnee | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Woooww, tracking my closet and doing this closet stock check was seriously eye opening!! I learned so much about fast fashion, fashion’s negative climate impacts, the massive consumerism driving it and how little of my own clothing I actually wear 😬
If you want to know more anout where i got my info, my sources can be found below! 💚
