Hi,

My name is Naquasia Founder of Both NLFC ( Nicole ~ Lamar Fashion & Co) & Studio Vegan. I have looked into the impact I've made on the world since I really woke in 2010 before going to college I wanted to study Fashion in 2015

" The True Cost came out"

Changing my whole view on the world of fashion and I no longer brought clothes. I would only buy one pair of sneakers a year. Sometimes none since 2018 I've only purchased one pair no clothes. I started making my own underwear 6 years ago never brought them again. I received a handme-down from a family from time to time. Stop accepting clothes and material items as gifts only ( food, candles and skincare and flowers)

After going vegan three years ago after traveling to Italy

I fully cut back on everything where I live there was barley any wifi or technology it was land and grass I enjoy living in that kind of place living in the moment and just sharing it social media. I took video and never edited them the photo I've never posted because I was living.

I ate what she grows or made she raised her food and made her own the culture shock made me vegan also made me think about minimalist. Why do I hold on this stuff?

Did you know that using a conservative (low) estimate, on average every person creates 2 tons of nasty carbon every single month?

But enjoying the luxuries of modern life today doesn't mean we have to live with creating a negative impact on the planet.

This explains why I keep watching The Lorax

intricately

To have ANY hope of solving any of these 3 problems, we have to solve them all. at

Our carbon footprint how do we reduce it?

Well, you aren't vegan or you have family and friends who aren't here's a tip.

1. Every day that you forgo meat and dairy, you can reduce your carbon footprint by 8 pounds that's 2,920 pounds a year. You can start by joining Meatless Mondays.

2. Choose organic and local foods that are in season"
