this "we love earth" costume done by tim tsui in collaboration with Li Ning has inspired me to be earth conscious about everything even clothes. This is his wooden version of his character Da Minci. He also created a series of t-shirts and stickers for the Milk's Event: "We Love Earth"
in so doing, here's some of my wardrobe modifications to show my love for mother earth.
1. buy clothes from natural fibers
2. stop buying fur, cruelty to animals is nowhere near fashionable
3. if you can't recycle your clothes, give them away to charity or sell them to vintage shops:
a person's trash is another one's treasure
4. bring out the designer in you a la project runway, shorten a skirt, add a colar, change the sleeves...there are tons of ways to revamp your old clothes.
5. have a shopping bag with you instead of carrying those plastic bags around.
6. if you haven't worn an item for at least 3 months, it's time to move on and give them away.
7. always clean out your closet for unnecessary stuff.
8. dispose of your clothes properly, stop this nonesense of burning stuff.
9. encourage your friends to be more earth-conscious as well.
10. include your fabulous pictures of your earth-friendly clothes in your facebook or personal blog so everyone will be attuned to your agenda.
