What is the Textile Waste Reduction Act, and what could it mean for Las Vegas and Nevada? A breakdown of the proposed federal framework for textile waste, recycling, reuse and circularity.

I toured a Las Vegas recycling facility and learned that some of my very responsible recycling habits weren’t actually helping. From plastic bags and crushed cans to the five extra seconds that can keep a bottle out of the landfill, here’s what surprised me most and why everyone should get a little more curious about where “away” actually goes.

I had the opportunity to speak on a TEDx Las Vegas panel called More Than Fabric, alongside designers, models, and vintage curators discussing the future of fashion, sustainability, and personal style.Connection to your clothes, your personal style, your creativity, your community, and the choices you make around all of it.

Most people do not think much about where their clothes go after they leave their closet. We clean out a drawer, fill a donation bag, drop it off, and move on with our day. Once it is gone, we assume the problem is solved.

But when it comes to clothing waste, there is really no such thing as “away.”
