Climate Change and Economics






Melbourne, and its famously unpredictable weather, has enabled me to amass an impressive collection of coats and jacket. However, as climate change continues to be a pressing issue, I think it makes economic sense to add these versatile pieces to my wardrobe. After all, whats a girl to wear when you experience four different seasons in a day.
