We're celebrating fashion week this week with a sustainable twist! We asked the Sustainable Campus staff what they usually look for secondhand when they're shopping at thrift stores or secondhand sites like Poshmark, ThredUp, or Depop. Here's what the team had to say!

Hiya! My name is Nathan, a senior in Chemistry at FSU. I am 20 years old and transferred to FSU last fall. I use he/him pronouns and have been interested in sustainability since I was 9. I am currently working for the Census Bureau, and hope to help ensure an accurate count of all our citizens.

Tayah: Buses (Seminole Express/StarMetro)
My favorite way to get around Tallahassee is to use the bus! The Seminole Express/StarMetro bus system is very user friendly and easy to get around to all of your favorite spots in Tallahassee. By using the Rider app, you can see the bus times in real time and see all the stops on each route. I love that you can go so many different places including the mall, local parks, and tons of stores.
