REFLECTION QUESTION
Economy & Communities Learn About & Practice Sustainable Fashion

How can you express your personality, creativity, and values in ways that don't require fast fashion or buying more clothes and accessories?

Alani Tong 4/18/2022 4:12 PM

I think a statement piece that is sustainably and ethically sourced is a great way to express yourself. Many clothing styles that are sustainable are misrepresented as bland and monotone. However, by having a staple piece in your closet, you can make it fun by adding accessories to vamp up your style.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Education & Livelihood Work-Life Balance

How does practicing a work-life balance create a more sustainable life for you? How might it contribute to sustainability more broadly?

Alani Tong 4/15/2022 9:28 AM

I just graduated college and the juggle between school, a job, and extracurriculars was overwhelming. Coming to Deloitte made me realize how to balance my personal and work life. I constantly ask myself, "Who am I outside of my job?"

Practicing this helps me stay motivated, focused, and action-oriented in my day-to-day job. It's still a growing process that is ever evolving.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Health & Equity Cleaning Product Ingredients

What was surprising about the ingredients in your cleaning supplies, personal care, and pet products?

Alani Tong 4/12/2022 10:06 AM

It has taken me some time to make the switch and it is still a work in progress. A huge change I made was my deodorant. Many deodorants have many harmful chemicals! Since I have sensitive skin, switching deodorants has made a huge impact in my life.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Climate & Ecosystems Reduce Single-Use Plastics

What plastic or single-use items do you regularly use? What did you substitute or could be substituted?

Alani Tong 4/12/2022 9:52 AM

I stopped buying water bottles and only drink from my hydroflask. I try to carry my reusable straw with me and bring reusable bags (including small produce bags!) to the grocery store. The most important aspect of sustainability is using what you have first before making the switch. I currently use k-pods, but once I am done, I will be buying whole coffee beans and reusing the k-pod insert.
