oh HELLO | SHOW AND SHARE EVENT
Where: Xinashi
When: 3 years ago [11 Aug 2021 12:00 SLT]

oh HELLO is here to help you look your best. Looking for outfit ideas? Landmarks of good places to shop? Have an outfit you are assembling that you'd like help with? Have an outfit you'd like to show and share? Well then, come to the oh HELLO SHOW AND SHARE Event on the second Wednesday of each month at noon. The next event is this coming Wednesday, August 11th, at noon.

Wear an outfit you are working on and get ideas and items from us all to help complete it. Or wear a completed outfit to the event and pass it on to all who'd like a copy. (As we do in the oh HELLO shops, box up the outfit with a pre-set body alpha HUD and all items of any in a fat-pack) Even if you don't have anything to show or share, come to the event to get outfit ideas and landmarks of good places to shop.

Hope to see you at the oh HELLO SHOW AND SHARE Event at noon on this and future second Wednesdays of the month.

This 3D virtual world is a wonderful place for fun and fantasy. But the reality of non-virtual life can not long be ignored. In OS, I create a new outfit for myself every day, and offer many of them in my shop. But what of the non-virtual world?

At it's best, fashion is an art form, a thing of beauty. But all of this beauty is built on top of the ugliness of environmental degradation.

The United Nations says the fashion industry is "widely believed to be the second-most polluting industry in the world", just behind the oil industry.

It accounts for more than 20% of wastewater globally, the UN says. About 93bn cubic metres of water - enough for five million people to survive - is used by the fashion industry every year.

As for carbon emissions, the industry is responsible for about 8% of the total worldwide. That's more than all international flights and shipping combined, the UN says.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has condemned the fashion industry over its "huge" contribution to climate change.

It is said that awareness without action leads to anxiety. So, now, knowing all this, here are actions we can take, for our own well-being, mental, physical, and emotional, and for the well-being of our non-virtual world: https://www.sustainyourstyle.org/old-environmental-impacts

If you like cars and/or bars, The Car Bar Tree House is for you. hop://fireandicegrid.net:8002/Xinashi/1699/1014/38. If you are looking for something else entirely, visit the other Xinashi islands. Each also has it's own theme, be it wild, wacky or wonderful.

"Pinus halepensis, commonly known as the Aleppo pine, is a pine native to the Mediterranean region. Its range extends from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Spain north to southern France, Malta, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, and Albania, and east to Greece. There is an outlying population in Syria, Lebanon, southern Turkey, Palestine, Jordan, and Israel."
Pay attention because there will be a quiz. There are five tree houses in Tree House Park. Five! Come visit Tree House Park where we have, count them, five tree houses. Spoiler Alert: The park has a Tree House Car Bar and a Bird House Tree House. How cool is that? OK, here's the quiz. How many tree houses are here in Tree House Park?
