Project Lead

The goal of my project is to create an opportunity for Haligonions to trade clothing that they would have otherwise disposed of with folks who can still get more wear out of them!

Project Description

Canadians produce approximately 500 million kilograms of textile waste each year. With the rise of micro-trends, we’re experiencing shorter trend cycles, leading many consumers to purchase and dispose of their clothing at a higher rate than ever before. By creating an opportunity for clothing to be traded and reused, we can reduce our waste and consumption of new goods.

Ocean Wise is based in the traditional and unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We work across Turtle Island and beyond, supporting Indigenous peoples in their vital work on ocean conservation and biodiversity whenever possible or as we are invited to.
