sweet loves

this is why we NEED to keep spreading awareness.

a lot people genuinely think that sustainable clothing/fashion is unattainable. we all know that the answer is to consume less (no you don't need $200 worth of $5/piece clothes from shein, if that's the shopping habit you're used to i'm not surprised that you think sustainable fashion is only for the rich), but until we can change this mass over-consumption, "need to be new" mentality, things will stay the same.

we need to make it easier for people to find the sustainable brands, because a lot of people won't take the time to search "sustainable clothing brands" and read through an article. we need them to not see a $40 shirt and immediately close the page, wondering why it's so expensive. instead they should wonder why fast fashion is so cheap. we need to inform people of greenwashing, and that a company with recyclable packaging doesn't necessarily always have eco friendly products or use anything close to ethical practices. that more expensive doesn't always equal better practices or quality.

5. Walk with your keys in your hands and keep a key between each finger

6. If they put you in the trunk kick out the headlights

E.g.

don’t do that!!!

don’t put your keys between each finger:

if you hit someone with them, it will bend back and hurt your knuckles

you need to be facing an attacker in order to hit them, so if someone attacks you from behind you won’t have the upper hand

it isn’t sturdy, so if you punch someone, it will move (it will hurt, but it’s not ideal)

instead, hold your longest key in your fist like this (it’s just a quick sketch, hope it gets the point across) (sorry if i described it badly, can anyone else describe it better for the blind peeps?)

if you hold it this way

it’s sturdier, meaning it will do more damage, and won’t bend back, hurting you

and you can hit an attacker from any direction, even if they come from behind
