holding hands, a local organization employing lafayette county residents, particularly those facing mental health challenges; and the pregnancy center of oxford.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span><strong>implementing re-rebs across campus will make it easier for students to donate their clothing. this project serves as a powerful weapon against textile waste, benefits the lafayette-oxford-university community and raises awareness about the harmful effects of fast fashion.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>a new initiative aims to support the university of mississippi community while improving the environment for future generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20368,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4902,4935,4938,4920,7080,4914],"tags":[],"storyfest_categories":[7082],"class_list":["post-36556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-colleges-education","category-conservation","category-pollution","category-recycling-upcycling","category-storyfest-2024","category-sustainability"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- this site is optimized with the yoast seo plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>re-rebs: a new campus clothing recycling program - planet forward<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"a new initiative aims to support the university of mississippi community while improving the environment for future generations.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/re-rebs-campus-clothing\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_us\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"re-rebs: a new campus clothing recycling program - planet forward\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"a new initiative aims to support the university of mississippi community while improving the environment for future generations.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/re-rebs-campus-clothing\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"planet forward\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/planetforward.org\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-01-31t15:56:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-01-31t15:56:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/1-4.png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"mia mckey\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@planet_forward\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@planet_forward\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"mia mckey\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"article\",\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/re-rebs-campus-clothing\/#article\",\"ispartof\":{\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/re-rebs-campus-clothing\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"mia mckey\",\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/#\/schema\/person\/bdbdca1aa1ae4955afb34700bbffc538\"},\"headline\":\"re-rebs: a new campus clothing recycling program\",\"datepublished\":\"2024-01-31t15:56:26+00:00\",\"datemodified\":\"2024-01-31t15:56:27+00:00\",\"mainentityofpage\":{\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/re-rebs-campus-clothing\/\"},\"wordcount\":332,\"commentcount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/story\/re-rebs-campus-clothing\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailurl\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/1-4.png\",\"articlesection\":[\"colleges &amp;
