Overview
How often do we consider our garments' impact on the environment, human beings, or society when we score that “good deal”? Marcy Linton, Professor of Costume Technology in the Department of Drama, will discuss how our clothing choices impact the world around us. As consumers in a highly unregulated industry, Linton will share how we can make a difference by considering sustainable alternatives.
