The Beauty Justice Facebook Group
is a resource based group chock full of information about safer bath and beauty products, health, advocacy, legislation and transparency. This is another one of Themis and Thread designer Jesse Junko Beardslee's passion projects, inspired by Beautycounter, a counterculture #BetterBeauty movement and Silk Naturals, a clean cosmetic company in Trumansburg, New York. We love using makeup from these innovative and progressive companies for our models!

FIGHT WASTE
Fighting for recycling can feel like an uphill, thankless battle. But like any other exercise in responsibility you've got to do it for the cause, not the applause! On average Americans throw away 80 pounds of fabric every year,
not donates,
throws away.
There are so many reasons you should never throw fabric items away. There are also so many solutions, even for clothing and fibers you wouldn't think anyone would ever want! Fashion Revolution Week 2019 we partnered with Blue Jeans Go Green and Habitat for Humanity for a Denim Drive showcasing the denim recycling process we can all participate in! Fight with Fashion by recycling your clothing/fabric/fiber waste.

Host a Clothing Swap
Donate your unwanted clothing, fabric and other fiber goods.
(Anything that isn't wet or dirty can be sorted and used as fiber fill and rags - even that lone holey sock! Check first, but many places sort and sell textile waste to be used for things like vehicle seats. Thrifty Shopper here in New York State accepts textile waste.)
Recycle your old jeans into denim insulation
We organized a Fashion Revolution Week Denim Drive that diverted over HALF A TON of denim from the landfill just in our local community!
Create Eco Bricks with any bits of unrecyclable thread, fabric or waste!
This is a project we participate in to repurpose our thread and fabric scraps from the sewing studio.
Make paper
Upcycle existing garments!
