Maria College Assistant Director of Admissions Rebecca Thomas writes, “During the Season of Creation, we are meant to reflect on how we treat the earth and the ways we can improve to benefit ourselves, animals, and future generations.  One way I try to be conscious of my carbon footprint is through my clothing consumption. In the era of social media, it’s easy to get caught up in the ever-changing microtrends we’re seeing on TikTok and Instagram, but the clothes bought from fast fashion giants will still be negatively impacting the world long after they’re forgotten by us.”
