This first of its kind, actionable and inspirational resource
provides the tools and motivation necessary for pop culture fans to
make a difference - while having fun! Fandoms are united as a
community because of the power of story. And it's exactly the
magical alchemy forged when mixing story and community that has
helped fandoms across the world feed thousands of hungry children,
donate countless books, build schools, register voters, disrupt
online hate speech, and save lives through crafting PPE for
COVID-19 frontline workers, natural disaster response, and mental
health crisis support. Fandom Acts of Kindness not only tells the
stories of the good fans have done in the world but serves as a
dungeon master's guide to how to be a hero yourself. Perfect for
those who want to inspire others, organize collective action,
sustain, and nurture your own mental health and creativity, and do
it all through a pop culture perspective.
'A funny, achievable guide' Observer 'Lauren Bravo is one of my
favourite writers' Dolly Alderton 'Bravo will inspire you to
repair, recycle and give old items a new lease of life' Stylist You
probably know the statistics: global clothing production has
roughly doubled in just 15 years, and every year an estimated
300,000 tonnes of used clothing ends up in UK landfill. Fast
fashion is the ultimate toxic relationship. It's bad news for the
planet, our brains and our bank balances. We can't go on like this;
our shopping habits need an overhaul. Journalist Lauren Bravo loves
clothes more than anything, but she's called time on her affair
with fast fashion in search of a slower, saner way of dressing. In
this book, she'll help you do the same. How To Break Up With Fast
Fashion will help you to change your mindset, fall back in love
with your wardrobe and embrace more sustainable ways of shopping -
from the clothes swap to the charity shop. Full of refreshing
honesty and realistic advice, Lauren will inspire you to repair,
recycle and give your unloved items a new lease of life without
sacrificing your style. Because fashion belongs to everyone, but no
outfit should cost us the earth.
