Dr. Katy Stevens reminds us of the power of collaboration, innovation, and transparency in shaping a sustainable future. Let’s take her insights as a call to action to create meaningful change in the textile and outdoor industries. Stay inspired, stay proactive!

INSPIRATIONAL NOTE

Katy's suggestion for a small change emphasizes self-care through reconnecting with nature. She recommends stepping away from screens and busy work to spend time outdoors, even with a simple walk or fresh air. This practice grounds individuals, renews energy, and fosters a deeper commitment to sustainability by reconnecting with what they strive to protect.
