This morning, an associate professor at NC state came to visit, teaching us about the importance of shopping sustainably. we also learned about different types of fabric and the chemicals that make them up as well as how to reuse old clothes. She taught us a lot about the chemical compounds of Polyester and cotton which are the two most common fabrics used. In the afternoon we went to two different thrift stores practicing mindful shopping. We thrifted for about 2 hours an bought a variety of things, from shoes to clothes to jewelry.
