Sustainability is on everyone’s radar at the moment. A new textile designer applying for a job who is equally talented at designing and can also educate their employer (in an appropriate time/place) thoughtfully about “green” fabrics will have an advantage not only in getting the job but also in helping the company they work for make the switch. No one (including companies) likes to be told what they are doing wrong but likewise no one wakes up wanting to pollute the planet. Thoughtful education from the inside out holds the key to lasting change. PS Please tell Miriam I would be happy to talk to her anytime.
