OK. Let's have an honest talk about where we are as human beings. We've been doing awesome as a species right up to around this point. We've created great works of art. Incredible masterpieces of architecture. Empathy and democracy for more than 62% of the world's population. We've vaccinated. We've created industries. But now we've got a problem: The plastics in our oceans, our throwaway culture, our overflowing landfills; it's time to take a step back.
What humans are best at, and what we've been doing for a millennia, is using our tools and textiles to the fullest: We're good at saving things. We're good at re-using things. We've just got to make it popular again. When you have your shirts repurposed into functional quilts, you're giving long life to the garments you've purchased, creating something new from something that would have otherwise have become waste. Skip the landfill. Get a custom-made quilt instead. Upcycling feels great, and is good for the planet.
