Don’t Change…Your Clothes?!

Did you know that the fashion and clothing industry uses more energy than both the shipping and aviation industries combined? Not to mention the energy cost of washing your clothes or the environmental impact of disposing of unwanted clothes.

Once upon a time, clothing was considered an investment. For many, it is now a disposable commodity.

Quick win:
Instead of replacing damaged clothing, mend it. Mending damaged clothing gives it a new life, reduces environmental impact and saves you money!

More involved:

When you need new clothes, consider purchasing from more sustainable brands, buying used, and encouraging your favorite brands to improve their practices.
