How To Reach the Paris Climate Agreement Through Fashion

Many of you have been commenting over the last couple of months about your distress of America pulling out of the Paris agreement on climate change. We don’t blame you, but may we offer an alternative approach? Consider the DMV. Long lines, unmotivated employees, and a widely accepted example of how slow government-run entities operate. Do we really want to rely on these people to change our world? That is why, we choose to see this as an opportunity for business to make far better and bigger progress than the sloth-like government ever would. Here’s a quick list of how we can help reach the Paris Climate Agreement through fashion.
