Apparel and Sustainability - Virtual Event and Film Screening
April 1, 2020
University of Arizona students are invited to participate in our SewTrue Virtual Event centered on educating our community about environmental sustainability and the apparel industry.
We have adapted this event to keep the safety of our students and faculty in mind, so instead of screening the film this year we will be asking students to watch the screening online through the UArizona Library website, and post responses to our Facebook event page!
Here's how this works (again this is a student specific event):
Step 1.
From April 9th-15th, watch The True Cost documentary
- First, log in to the UArizona Library: bit.ly/
UArizonalogin_ truecostscreening - Then, click this link for the film: bit.ly/library_
truecostfilm
Step 2.
Respond to the following questions in our Facebook event discussion (no later than April 15th)
- Which part of the documentary stood out and why?
- What are you going to do about it?
- What questions do you still have?
