What first inspired you to get involved with G4?
Florida State University art student and graphic designer for Sustainable Campus, Naira Diptee, recently created a zine on the topic of fashion and sustainability. Repurposing found fashion magazines into her work, she subverts the power of advertising in the fashion industry, calling the reader’s attention to the concepts of “fast-fashion” and the capitalistic ideology that supports it. Her use of these found objects also allows her work to have an aesthetic appeal to give those who may not normally choose to learn about sustainability a reason to pick up the zine.
At Sustainable Campus, our mission is to promote sustainable living at FSU. To achieve that mission, we share resources to help you live your best sustainable life. Recently, the Sustainable Campus team got together to compile a list of our favorite YouTube Channels, books, podcasts, blogs, and documentaries about sustainable topics. We hope our "staff picks" will inspire you to start your sustainable journey or learn more about topics that interest you.
FSU students, faculty, and staff now have access to the nationally recognized CyclingSavvy Basics Course for FREE on Canvas! CyclingSavvy has helped thousands of cyclists and drivers learn new skills and strategies to share the road. The basics course provides an introduction to key concepts for riding safely while commuting to and around campus.
