“What is wrong with people?!” I heard someone exclaim when they saw a person not recycling their aluminum soda can. ♻️
I’m here to tell you that there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with people.You have been born into a world and raised in a system. And you have been given a story to enact. But the story you have been given to enact puts us at odds with the world…in which we are the kings and queens of the world. 👑 🌎
The story is one in which the world is a foe to be conquered, and we are in the process of conquering it. But what if we were given a story to enact that put us in harmony with the world? Might we actually live in harmony with the world? Right now, the current state is of *separation* and *opposition* from the natural world. Our technological devices don’t help either, but we are not all to blame for this.
Questions like, “Can we consume responsibly?” are not solely ours to answer; the responsibility also lies heavily with the companies we buy from: “Can you produce responsibly?”
Let’s take a closer look at fast fashion, for instance. The Kit is a fashion brand taking on our desires for beautiful clothing but does so sustainably, stating: “We don’t make a garment until a customer orders it.”
Founded by Daniel Vosovic, The Kit focuses on responsible production and garments are made-to-order, reducing overproduction and waste. The brand also uses digital printing, which uses significantly less water compared to traditional methods. Blending chic, gender-neutral styles with environmental consciousness, the brand emphasizes creating clothing that exists in harmony with both people and the planet.
So, I ask you: Is this the future of fashion? Could this be one of the many possible pathways to enact a different story within our system?
