For some, the answer is a resounding yes. Despite growing up on Kim Kardashian’s warning, “I don’t put bumper stickers on my Bentley,” Gen Z is one of the most tattooed generations. And unlike the earnest, symbolic designs favored by millennials (think infinity signs, flower pots, love hearts), they’re…

One of the employees of the world’s third-largest airline recently launched an exciting, eco-friendly project: turning airline trash into functional fashion items. what’s happening?
