North City San Marcos Hosts Earth Day Denim Swap and Film Screening

The North City district in San Marcos is celebrating Earth Day with an evening of sustainable style, community, and conversation at Union Cowork on April 21 from 5–9 p.m. The event kicks off at 5 p.m. with a denim shop, swap, and thrift experience featuring live styling featuring Swap & Shop SD, Positive Phee, and a collective of local makers including Sew Loka, eM Pulse, and Avartan Avenue, all reimagining denim through reuse, repair, and reinvention.

At 6 p.m., guests can settle in for a screening of the acclaimed documentary "RiverBlue," which explores the environmental impact of the fashion industry from river to runway to landfill. The film is followed by a post-screening conversation at 7:45 p.m. with experts leading the sustainability movement in San Diego, including Marissa Acosta, Zero Waste and Sustainability Specialist at CSUSM, and Liz of Sustainability is Sexy, a nonprofit founder and community advocate.

This free event is open to the public, with food and drinks available for purchase. For more information, visit https://www.northcity.com/.
