Back to School, Pt 2: Clothing & Backpacks
Description
Annnnd we're back with Part 2 of this 3-part BONUS series on living sustainably amidst Back to School season!
Part 1 covered low-waste lunches and school supplies! Today, we're sharing our best eco-hacks for clothing and backpacks (because Lord knows how these kids keep outgrowing, shredding, misplacing, molding, and whatever else they're doing to these items every year...) ;)
Tiffany Norton, owner of Juniperseed Mercantile and The Fly Button, joins Katie Kurpanek, Eco-Living Coach and Podcast Host, to continue this conversation -- empowering you with our best tips and tricks for navigating this back-to-school season sustainably.
Tune in tomorrow for the final Part 3 covering minimizing waste within the classroom-- and this is not just for teachers, it's an all-hands-on-deck collaboration between schools AND families!
