Adverbs of manner

and I, now at this point, only can answer

meaning we cut up old post-consumer product

Growing up, fashion was a true way to express myself

and I remember the first time I went to a thrift store.

This was the 7th grade and I walked in and it hit me,

this is the mother load, this is the mecca,

The textures, the colors, the history, the opportunities

that I saw in that thrift store as a young 7th grader

to take all of this old stuff that no one wanted anymore

Fashion is one of the biggest polluters on the planet

The textiles that don't get thrown in the trash

Some of those bales are being buried in landfills

and does keep staying, we keep collecting and saving

And that's where Remade can really step in.

And so, what we're doing is we're basically

take a bale of old flannel shirts and cut them up

We're able to cut up hundreds of thousands of pounds

of old textiles that were deemed for landfills

that's attached to a product, it's a way of life, I think,

I mean the way it's gonna work is if everyone becomes

the everyday hero in their own community.

So we have a store of post-consumer product,

a beautiful sewing shop and we're all kind of like

busy little bees running around cutting up garbage

and sewing it back together for the world.

And then when COVID hit, it changed everything.

We actually quite quickly jumped to our feet

and started raising money to start producing masks

and give them away to front liners and community members

And we've given away over 75000 masks to date

and are still giving away masks every week.

SUAY is also now half store half food bank.

We recently started a food bank for garment workers

and now each week we're feeding up to 250 garment worker

I really urge people that are involved in fashion,

if you're wearing clothes then you should care about this

because these are the same people that are sewing

the clothes that you have on your back every single day.

is to make shifts to create the kind of change

that you do have the opportunity to live every day

doing a little bit better than the day before.

Change is here and we just have to keep trying
