Amethyst Strickland made news last semester with her environmentally fashion show. Amethyst, who is a Conscious Lifestyle Social Innovator and founder of Minor Changes for Major Impact, assembled a team to transform $150 of clothes purchased at the Waterfront Rescue Mission into a line of trendy styles for teens.

The Pensacola Independent News writes, "Amethyst is teaching other teens how to transform thrift store finds into cutting-edge designs while promoting environmental sustainability."

Following the success of her fashion show, Amethyst is working hard to organize an environmental documentary showing on Valentine's Day. The name of the event is aptly titled "Love the Earth." Minor Changes for Major Impact members will be on hand to collect petition signatures for a campaign to increase eco-friendly purchasing at schools.

Congratulations Amethyst on your continued success!
