Sustainability Resources
These are a few of the resources I use during research and sourcing, especially during the development of my senior collection.
Good On You Directory
Wondering if your favorite brand has sustainable and ethical practices? The Good on You directory is a resource that provides clear and readable information on how different brands measure up based on third-party certifications and comprehensive information that considers the whole supply chain of a business. This information is clearly summarized, and each brand is given a rating based upon a brand's practices regarding people, animals, and the planet.

Generative AI has massive ethical and environmental impacts that are being ignored for the sake of "progress". Even in sustainability-focused spaces, generative AI is being pushed as an unavoidable and necessary tool, even though it is neither sustainable nor ethical in how it functions and is used. This article lays out some of the issues that have arisen from the push to accelerate AI usage.
