At this point, each one of us in our green heart-er
community should put our foot forward and do the
maximum we can to protect future generations and
mother nature.
There are many simple and effective everyday
measures that you can adopt for a more conscious
lifestyle.
Shopping for beautiful,
eco-friendly, and ethically-made clothing is an
integral part of any sustainable wardrobe.
Here are 5 ways you can properly
commit to sustainable fashion
Less is more
Choose quality over quantity
Buy organic natural fibers
Choose fairtrade or ethically made
Promote natural dyes
Less is more
As a global population, we already consume much
more than the earth can sustainably support, and
while our wardrobes are only a small part of this
picture, it plays a significant role.
It is estimated that clothing accounts for 3.4% of
global greenhouse gas emissions.
In order to live mindfully, we need to move beyond
our desire for consumption, and see shopping as a
functional activity rather than leisure.
Understanding "less is more" SUI
offers a wide variety of sustainable clothing online.
Choose quality over quantity
Fast fashion tosses low quality and poorly made
clothes that are designed to be discarded in short
periods leading to the alarming consumer buying
cycle.
The average party top is worn 1.7 times before being
discarded.
If your wardrobe is going to be sustainable, you must
choose to invest in quality pieces, choose comfort,
sophistication, and eco-friendly outfits that are good
for you, your skin and the environment.
Buy organic natural fibers
It is important to go for
eco-friendly clothing for women as it is
estimated that around 16% of all insecticides and
25% of pesticides globally are used in conventional
cotton farming, and cotton produced contributes to
3.5kg of carbon dioxide emissions.
The alternative to using cotton and synthetic fibers
are organic natural fibers, like organic cotton,
recycled fabric, etc.
Choose fairtrade or ethically made
Demand quality, not just in the product you buy, but
also in the life of the person who made it.
Conventional fashion has a high social cost, these
include chemical exposure that badly affects health
conditions, workplace injuries, and permanent
disablement.
Fairtrade certified clothing is, instead, produced in
conditions that ensure workers are operating in
environments and work conditions that are safe work
conditions, as well as being reasonably paid for all they
do.
Promote natural dyes
Herbal dyes are almost solely plant-based, using
components such as flowers, roots, leaves, seeds and
so on. Parts of the plant are used in the dyeing process,
which is considered 'waste' or are growing wild and
organic in nature and have medicinal properties, such
as the peels from a pomegranate, onions, and
myrobalan.
Choosing fibers that are already pigmented is another
option that eliminates the need for dying at all.
Natural dyes are also a good DIY project to try out at
home, so give it a go for a revitalized wardrobe.
