My Green Style

  • Interest Level: Grade 9 - Grade 12
  • Reading Level: Grade 4

A teen decides to create upcycled clothing for a fashion show and expose the costs of fast fashion—and learns about effective activism.

Montreal teen Pearl is passionate and dedicated both about fashion and the environment. She decides to make a point at her school’s fashion event by up-cycling donated, used clothes in exciting styles. But not everyone, not even some of her friends, is on board with ditching fast fashion for thrift-store creativity.

While Pearl wants to showcase up-cycled and secondhand clothing, her best friend is drawn to the appeal of fast fashion. As they navigate these contrasting ideals, a strong desire to raise awareness about the fashion industry’s environmental impact sparks a call to activism.

Balancing the excitement of activism with its challenges, the teens realize that change is harder than it seems. But the friends come together to embark on a journey that celebrates the potential of sustainable fashion.
