Daily Announcements for April 23, 2026
Happy Earth Day Week! Did you know that millions of animals are poached each year? We can help save animals by reducing human demand for real animal print and instead buy synthetic options for animal print. Though something to keep in mind, around 92 million tons of textile waste is produced each year because of the fast pace in which the fashion industry changes. With this in mind, tomorrow’s dress up day is to wear something thrifted!
