Every year, Americans toss out more than 25 million tons of food, and nearly 40% of food in the U.S. is wasted annually. That's the equivalent of about $165 billion – enough to fill 28,500 tractor-trailers. In efforts to minimize the amount of waste we produce, this summer, I’m taking steps to reduce its environmental impact by hosting picnics that are more sustainable.

Everything I've worn has been thrifted, upcycled, pre-loved, or clothes made from sustainable fabric and ethical practices.

I won't go into detail but will leave you with some eye-opening documentaries to see for yourself. Moving towards the slower end of fashion was easier then I thought. I'm a vintage kind of girl so buying pre-loved was really my scene and I didn't even know it.
