Hey guys! In today’s video i decided to revisit one of my older videos titled the elitism of the sustainability community. I decided to revisit this topic due to the rise in fast fashion, the pandemic, and issues with the economy making it harder than ever to live a sustainable lifestyle. I focus on issues regarding how it's almost impossible for people who are low income to live a sustainable life in America yet many people get shamed for not being able to afford a sustainable lifestyle.
