I know it can feel a bit overwhelming trying to navigate all the events and initiatives while avoiding founders talking about how great they are or hearing from a problematic company making bogus climate claims.
For me, and FABSCRAP, this week is all about taking action, not just having conversations (especially the same ones that have been happening since FABSCRAP started 8 years ago). We're committed to making real change happen! Our calendar is focused on tangible steps to reduce waste and promote change. I hope to see you around!!
