On Wednesday, April 17, Penn State Sustainability will host Miranda Moore, a sustainable fashion advocate who was crowned Miss Pennsylvania 2023. Moore, an environmental engineer and graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania earning an executive certificate in social impact strategy, will discuss her work within the Miss America organization, and in her life more broadly, to promote sustainable fashion.

“Penn State Sustainability is delighted to partner with EcoReps, Organic Climbing, and the Fashion Society of Penn State to host Miranda Moore for a meaningful discussion on how consumers and producers in the clothing industry can create a better, brighter future for all,” said Grant Rowe, public programming coordinator for Penn State Sustainability.

She is the founder of Take Action in Fashion, an organization focused on changing “how we buy, wear, and think about fashion through awareness, representation, and engagement.” The initiative advocates for increased secondhand shopping, outfit repeating, and education surrounding the power people hold in their financial and shopping decisions.
