Duncan Anderson Lecture Series - California State University Long Beach, CA. Sustainability and Fashion

Have you ever thought about the lifecycle of that shirt or pair of pants you are wearing? What will happen when you tire of them, or they have lost a button or gained a stain? With a documented 4,500 pounds of textile waste being discarded every hour, now is the time to listen and learn what each of us can do to be a part of the solution of textile reuse. Dr. Connie Ulasewicz will provide information and questions to ask regarding how to revalue discarded textile products and to consider them as a resource rather than as items to dispose of or send off to other parts of the world to be a part of their waste challenge. Be a part of the solution; reduce, recycle, reuse and refuse to accept the current system.
