Fashion is amazing. It makes us happy, but it shouldn't come at the expense of the environment. Everything we do with our garments has an influence on the environment, including how we manufacture, use, and dispose of them. Let's explore how we can make a difference on the earth just by altering how we shop! To change the earth, we don't have to move it. Fashion shouldn't cost the earth.
Do some research and buy from businesses that you know have more sustainable methods.
Whenever possible, buy vintage, secondhand, or from brands that repurpose unwanted clothing.
Change up the pieces you already have. There are a lot of options for repurposing your garments. Remake them yourself, have a professional alter them using Sojo or a local seamstress, employ designers to remake them on websites like Reture, or simply use old t-shirts as cleaning rags!
Donate your old clothes.
Before you go out and buy something new, swap and share. There are a wide range of options for renting beautiful clothes instead of buying them new, as well as swapping with others to keep our closets moving and being worn.
Take care of your garments by washing them at lower temperatures, separating colours, and using mild washing powder.
When shopping, use an eco-bag.
Other clothing items become outdated when new pieces enter our closet each year. The environment is suffering from the effects of low-cost items and new fashion trends. Clothing's energy and toxins have a negative impact on the environment, deteriorating our land, polluting our air, and harming our health. There are small things that we can all do to help the environment.
When buying clothes:
Choose clothing that has been produced in a sustainable manner.
Purchase clothing from ethical labels that are created locally.
Look for cotton that is organic.
Invest in clothing that will last years rather than months.
Embrace a more minimalistic way of life.
