I really appreciate this take. In my own work, I focus on confronting fast fashion and overconsumption with rebuilding our local communities around shared love of textiles. If you are in the same knitting club or did a garage sale with someone, you are more likely to help them (or they - you) in times of crisis. We can only built trust and improve people's wellbeing by showing up in person. And that's our individual responsibility, introvert or extravert, bubbly or shy.
Thank you for sharing! I love the idea of building communities over knitting and textiles! Reminds me of how fulfilling it is to take things to repair cafes rather than chuck them.
