Sustainable fashion – only accessible to some

Sometimes it can feel as if concerns surrounding climate change is an upper-class problem, primarily because access to alternatives that would be better for the environment are more expensive and very often inaccessible to the masses.

Sunshine: a must

Growing up, I avoided the sun mainly because it made me sweat and I would always feel sticky and uncomfortable.
