WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY?
“In order to defeat the linear take-make-and-waste model of living that wreaks such havoc on the planet's life sustaining resources, we need visionaries. These are those individuals pragmatic and skilled enough to coach us in how to adapt, but also exciting enough to inspire us to ditch our safety net. Dan Pontarlier is that person for fashion. He makes upcycled fashion aspirational and accessible to everyone. This is not just a project for a rainy day, it's a new way of thinking.”

THE PLEDGE
Let's break it down! Here's how it works: For each book sold, a tree will be planted in Haiti where it's needed most. But that's just the beginning! As the reader, you'll be contributing to a forest in your name in Forest Nation. You can even plant additional trees alongside the ones I'm planting!
Not only that, but you'll be able to see the number of trees planted, how much CO2 they're absorbing, and other important information. The trees are planted by local people and when they bear fruit, they're used by the community.
Forest Nation has already made a huge impact in places like Tanzania, where they've planted enough trees to support the community and even sell them on the market!
By getting your hands on this book, you're not only learning how to upcycle your wardrobe and create unique pieces, but you're also making a positive impact on the planet and communities in need.
One tree will be planted for every book sold, so why wait? Get your copy now and join the movement towards sustainable fashion and a greener planet!
