OUR FREE MAGAZINE

Have you seen our monthly magazine ‘Live Life in Sustainable Style’?

It’s the newest addition to our suite of tools designed to help simplify sustainability so you can take action on the things you care about (minus the eco-overwhelm). The content ties together our monthly ‘Take Action’ theme. In a fast-paced media-saturated landscape, we hope that this way of sharing will provide you access to all our useful tools, without feeling lost or overwhelmed. Each month we will send you the latest copy of the magazine and our most recent downloadable worksheet to your inbox (you will only receive one email a month from us). You will get reminders via our social media channels of what content we’re championing throughout the month.

We hope that you enjoy getting your Sustainable Style fix in this easy-to-read format and that it gives you a break from the abundance of social media updates and overflowing inboxes we now navigate daily.

WHERE IT BEGAN

FOUNDED IN 2010

Sustainability in Style began in 2010 as a series of clothing swaps hosted by Katie Roberts at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Maroochydore (Gubbi Gubbi Country). Katie started these swaps as a way to fuse her previous career in fashion with her newfound knowledge of Environment and Sustainability through her undergraduate studies in Environmental Science. Her very first Sustainability in Style clothing swap event had 500 attendees and over the years the movement has organically grown to encompass face-to-face and online content and events.

Sustainability in Style moved online in 2013 to keep Katie accountable during her year-long Wardrobe Workout shopping hiatus.

Since then Katie has continued her education and employment in Sustainability Education and Science. Working as a research officer (since 2011), and completing her Master of Environment majoring in Sustainability Education with a research focus on social media for sustainability. A yogi since 2006 Katie undertook her teacher training in 2011 seeing a need for tools to reduce overwhelm in increasingly changeable times. This space is the result of her labour of love for sustainability education and science communications and a desire to inspire others to take action without the overwhelm, eco anxiety or compassion fatigue. When she’s not here with you she’s working as a research officer or part of the USC Fashion Studies teaching team.

What's Being Said About Workshops

 

“What a fabulous day learning about sustainable styling and shopping. All the information Katie provided over the workshops informed and motivated the participants on their journey towards buying (or not) decisions that will bring about change in the fashion industry. I certainly left with a broader knowledge of how advertising can influence my buying decision, greater skills to make the best out of what is already in my wardrobe and information to assist on finding ethical fashion sources.”

–Susan Flux
