As I reflect on 2018, words cannot express how grateful I am for all of the opportunities I have had, the people I have met and worked with, and all of the personal growth I have been able to achieve. I have learned so much about myself and the ways to best approach my sustainable, environmental mission that I can hardly imagine what 2019 will hold.⁣ ⁣ 💕Seeing my top performing posts for the year, also makes me incredibly grateful for all of you, my Instafam, for being into the things that truly matter to me. It’s not always easy finding like-minded, environmental, compassionate people, but here I am so lucky to be surrounded by all of you.⁣ ⁣ 🌿Thank you to each and every one of you, and to all of the people who have made this year especially special for me. We are so much stronger together!⁣ ⁣ #ethicalfashionblogger #sustainablefashionblogger #sustainableliving #zerowasteliving #environmentalawareness #model4greenliving (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br-bWEIHqgv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gowemtbrz6ck

“Model Mafia has provided a space for community that was missing among models – instead of viewing each other as competition, it’s helped us value each other as true friends and champions of each other’s efforts. I’ve been supported and encouraged to pursue my passions as an environmentalist; gone to the climate march in Washington, D.C.; created social media campaigns that have reached millions of people; hosted my first sustainable-fashion event; been on countless panel discussions as a thought leader; presented at MoMA; and got my first job outside of modeling with @RainforestAlliance, helping them with their social media. Fashion has enormous power to influence the world, and I envision it doing so for good – the good of people and the planet.” -RENEE PETERS Sustainability activist⁣ ⁣ Model Mafia makes me feel hopeful for the future. I also have hope for progress because of the body-positive successes we’ve seen in the industry so far, as well as the slow-but-sure increase of racial diversity that is desperately needed. ⁣ ⁣ 📲Social media’s power is bringing light to, and changing, all of fashion's outdated ideals. Because people are finally given a voice to demand from companies what they want and need, we are seeing positive momentum building into real change. The power that fashion holds to influence the world gives me great hope that this progress will only continue to expand to other industries exponentially. ⁣ ⁣ We are truly #StrongerTogether ✊🏿✊🏻✊🏾✊🏼✊🏽⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ For models interested in joining a community working together for a more equitable, just, sustainable inudstry & world EMAIL [email protected] to join us!⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Photo by @Carlota_Guerrero for @NetAPorter @PORTERMagazine @Jennifer_Dickinson.

With @SineadBovell, @IngaErla, and @gelila.bekele representing the Model Mafia aka @modelactivist for #PorterEdit!!⁣ Read our story via the link in my bio 👆🏼 ⁣ This is a true celebration... A celebration of community, of women standing together, of what is possible when we lead in a different way. And I have to say that this collaboration is one of the proudest moments of my life.⁣ ⁣ As @PORTERMagazine says: “They’re the models fighting in the trenches of the fashion industry, so it seemed appropriate to photograph them in this season’s myriad....Every single one of these incredible women deserves a shout out for their commitment, bravery and refusal to accept the status quo..” Thank you @cameronrussell and @ainerosecampbell for always highlighting every voice and light.

“No water, no life. No blue, no green.” @earlesylvia 🐋 ⁣ ⁣ This week, I have had the incredible opportunity to attend @parley.tv’s World Oceans Week 2018. 🌊 They have been massively inspiring to say the least. ⁣ ⁣ With guests like @captainpaulwatson, @earlesylvia, @chrisjordan_albatross, and @gerglong, they have re-instilled hope within me, amongst a sea of plastic and waste. ⁣🙏🏼 ⁣ Today is #worldoceansday. “There is no magic fix for ocean threats, but there are simple steps you can take right now to be a part if the solution.” @cyrillgutsch 🙌🏼What are you doing to to take a step in the right direction?⁣ ⁣ #zerowasteliving #fortheoceans #plasticnotfantastic #sylviaearle #parleyAIR #oceanplastic (at United Nations)

“Rumors Of Spring” by Aarron Laidig

[model4greenliving]

"New York!! We have the power to stop plastic bag pollution once and for all! On Wednesday, June 6th, @nygovcuomo will be voting on a ban of plastics bags! 🌿So here is my ask: On Wednesday, June 6th, or even before, call Governor Cuomo’s offices and urge him to ban the single-use plastic bag AND place a fee on alternative bags by supporting S7760/A9953, the ‘New York Bring Your Own Bag Act’. 🐋 Evidence demonstrates that plastic bag laws help reduce pollution in waterways. Los Angeles County experienced a 94 percent decline in plastic bag usage and a 30 percent reduction in paper bag usage after a ban on plastic and a 10-cent fee on paper went into effect. Plastic bag policies in the United Kingdom have led to almost a 30 percent reduction in plastic bag pollution found on the floor of the North Sea. 🙌🏼 Initial evidence from 2017, the first year after California’s first in the nation ban went into effect, shows a nearly 4.2 percent reduction from 2010 in plastic bags found on beaches statewide. New York should follow the lead of California and help demonstrate to the nation that reducing plastic pollution is possible. 📱Text ‘JUNE 6’ to 21333 on your phone to receive a reminder on June 6 to call the Governor. And let’s help prevent more wildlife and humans from suffering. #plasticocean #plasticplanet #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #banplasticbags #wildlifeconservation" (at New York, New York)

My heart cries every time I see this image 😭. The good news is, as NYCers especially, we have the power to stop it. On Wednesday, June 6th, @nygovcuomo will be voting on a ban of plastics bags (insert hallelujah!)🕊 🌿So here is my ask: On Wednesday, June 6th, or even before, call Governor Cuomo’s offices and urge him to ban the single-use plastic bag AND place a fee on alternative bags by supporting S7760/A9953, the ‘New York Bring Your Own Bag Act’. 🐋 Evidence demonstrates that plastic bag laws help reduce pollution in waterways.

We live in a world today that our ancestors just 70 years ago wouldn’t understand. 🐋 Our sea life lives in a world of plastic waste. Our green lands and forests are rarely traveled without plastic obscuring our path... But the fact that only 70 years need be corrected, means we are not far from the answers giving us hope. ⁣🌿⁣ ⁣⁣ Ask yourself what you can do, today, to reduce your consumption. And if you cannot, ask for help. Every small action is a step in the right direction. Corporations and big brands are finally starting to hear our cries, and the tide is turning for the better again. ⁣ ⁣ Painting by Dafne Murillo. #stopsucking #strawlessocean #zerowaste #zerowastechallenge #plasticocean #litterati (at Atlantic Ocean)
