Did you know the world throws away 92 million tons of clothing every year — the equivalent of a garbage truck full of clothes every second? Yet most clothing is only worn 7–10 times before being discarded. What if your future career helped solve one of the world's fastest-growing environmental problems while working with some of the biggest brands on the planet?
Camille Carbajal shares how reading a book about Ben & Jerry's ice cream completely changed the direction of her life and introduced her to the growing field of corporate sustainability. From working with companies in Australia to roles at DuPont, PepsiCo, Nike, Meta, and now lululemon, Camille explains how businesses are rethinking fashion, reducing waste, and developing innovative materials made from recycled products. You'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at how lululemon creates second-life programs for clothing and partners with startups developing new sustainable fabrics.
Camille's story highlights one of the fastest-growing career fields today — helping companies become better for people and the planet. Whether you're interested in fashion, business, marketing, science, technology, communication, or entrepreneurship, sustainable fashion careers are creating exciting new opportunities to drive change from the inside. Her message is simple: find what brings you joy and use your talents to help build a better future.
