Did you know that Amanda Gorman, the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history, visited Slovenia in 2019? Read why and what left a lasting impression on her.<\/strong><\/h2>

Since the\u00a0historic Inauguration Day, where President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were sworn into office, all eyes are on a young, rising poet\u00a0Amanda Gorman<\/strong>, who performed her poem\u00a0The Hill We Climb<\/em>\u00a0at the ceremony, thus becoming the youngest Inaugural Poet in U.S. history.\u00a0<\/p>

Amanda Gorman visited Slovenia back in 2019 as a reporter of\u00a0the What We Carry documentary,\u00a0<\/strong>a joint project of Prada and the National Geographic team. The main topic of the documentary was learning how the Prada Re-Nylon initiative is taking harmful waste from around the world and reusing them. The show has charted the story behind the new Prada Re-Nylon sustainability initiative across the globe – uncovering the methods by which harmful and wasteful materials – plastic ocean waste, fishing nets, discarded textiles – are regenerated, revitalized.<\/p>

Uncovering the complex and intriguing stories and examining the multiple countries and communities touched by the Re-Nylon project, Prada have collaborated with specialists from National Geographic to create an episodic branded content series exploring its roots – What We Carry. <\/p>

They also travelled to Slovenia, which they described as\u00a0“a country which has latterly become a hub of a new regenerative and sustainable industry<\/a>, with 40,000 tons of material recycled annually. It is also home of Aquafil\u2019s production plant for ECONYL\u00ae, established in the city of Ljubljana.”<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>

Slovenia indeed is a country where sustainability is at home. Featured in a number of the top renowned media as one of the most sustainable countries of the world, it sets out a good example for other countries. With projects like this, the image of Slovenia as a green and healthy country is only underlined.<\/p>

In the series, beautiful Slovenian landscape is also featured, showcasing the beauties of\u00a0Bled<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Ljubljana<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>

Amanda Gorman was thrilled about Slovenia, which she also stated on her\u00a0Instagram profile<\/strong>\u00a0(with more than 2 million followers), posting a trailer of the What We Carry episode:\u00a0“Had the honor of visiting Slovenia with @prada this summer as a reporter…”<\/em><\/p>
