The fashion industry is one of the biggest environmental offenders today, so it’s a reasonable question to ask ourselves – how can we shop more sustainably? This isn’t an easy thing to do and you’ll need to stick to a plan to shop smarter in the future.
Here are some tips on how to shop sustainably.
Look Out For Plastic
Single-use plastic is one of the biggest threats that our planet is facing right now. What you may not notice is that plastic can also be found in our clothes in the form of fibers such as polyester, nylon, and rayon. If you want to shop sustainably look for natural materials that are biodegrade.
Vintage is Better
There are many options available to find great quality second-hand clothing. From vintage stores to online shops like eBay, you’ll be amazed by how many amazing pieces you can find and that you are lessoning your environmental impact at the same time.
Shop Smarter
Instead of buying a bunch of cheap clothes, try investing more money into fewer pieces that can last for a longer time. Avoid compulsive shopping and buy only those items you truly need and like.
