Camille Lee Owner and Creator of WearEmOutTees - Teachable Moments, Letting Yourself off the Hook and Choosing Your Weapon of Sustainability

For this episode of Sustainably LB, I got to share space with Camille Lee Owner and Creator of WearEmOutTees. WearEmOutTees transforms pre-loved t-shirts into one-of-a-kind, small batch, graphic tees with original artwork. It is through her brand and her work as a speaker in the community that Camille aims to be a scratch in the record. She is a reminder that even if we can’t stop the fast fashion industry, we can certainly disrupt it. 

Show Notes:

• Conversations are learning opportunities, not telling opportunities
• You make the clothes conform, you don’t conform
• What are those sustainable choices that you can make that fit into your lifestyle?
• There doesn't need to be a complete overhaul of self to start living more sustainably
• Having a why makes it easier to realign with your values 
• Let yourself off the hook, but keep yourself accountable
