Carbon Footprints
Julia is eager to be a conscious customer, and she is also fighting the fashion industry’s environmental effects. With the consumption of clothing at an all-time global high, it is no wonder that unsustainable environmental policies are depleting the earth’s valuable resources. Julia avoided contributing to her carbon footprint by choosing a fair-trade hemp dress from a London-based clothing company named ‘Thought.’ So how have people responded to Julia’s project?

Negative Reactions
The most common reaction she has received is disgust. Some individuals just believe that it is not hygienic to wear the same clothing item every day. And the food for thought is her reply. Julia replied to them by saying, “I just tell them: this is not a project about hygiene. I wash it as needed. I come to work clean. Lots of people wear uniforms, and they are not assumed to be dirty.” Julia’s 100-day challenge with one outfit has another thought-provoking takeaway.
