📰 What We’re Reading
“CLIMATE OPTIMISM”
Announcing April’s Reclypt’s Book Club book by Zahra Biabani. Not only is she is an impassioned climate activist, CEO, and writer, but also a panelist in our upcoming Circular Fashion Playground!! I’ll let her tell you about her book. “My goal for this book is that readers walk away with TANGIBLE ways they can get involved with systemic solutions and move past individualistic solutions and lifestyle changes.” Join us April 30th for a No Reading Required Book Club Discussion.
SUBSTACK
Many of you all recieved a taste of Reclypt’s Substack last week when we discussed the inequality in Women’s Equal Pay Day. If topics such as that, fashion waste, what our clothes are made of, and more peek your interest, we’d suggest becoming a paying member. This grants you all access to the insights into circularity, ethical fashion, and more. We’re wrapping up our “fashion waste” series and will be getting into textile recycling next, subscribe now to join!
PLAYGROUND
If you’ve made it this far, you’re a real one - here’s a larger discount for your ticket to our Circular Fashion Playground! It’s going to be a fantastic afternoon and we hope to see you there! Enjoy free food and drinks while exploring circular fashion, then celebrate with community while enjoying treats from a circular caterer (we’re really excited for this!).
Please share this with someone who’s interested in and/or wants to learn more about the circular economy.
