Top Tips to Reduce Your Environmental Impact YOUR IMPACT Online other clothing brands has a great responsibility for changing today’s sense of fast fashion. But we are not in this alone – how you care for your garment accounts for 25 % of its environmental impact. Let’s make the best out of those numbers. Here are five things you can do to minimize your impact and prolong the life of your wardrobe favourites.
LOOK FOR GREEN GARMENTS All fabrics release microfibers in the wash. The problem is that microfibers in synthetic fabric are not biodegradable. These plastic fibres eventually end up in our oceans traveling up the food chain. So in the long run, organic cotton clothes are not only better for the global environment, but for all living creatures including you.
CHOOSE WISELY Garments with high quality and long-lasting design are essential for building a sustainable wardrobe. Sooner or later when the little ones outgrow their clothes, a good piece of garment is always wanted by someone else.
REPAIR AND REWEAR Give your garment a second chance by covering stubborn stains or holes with leftover fabric or patches. When it’s time to say goodbye – recycle, resell or donate your garments to an organization.
WASH WITH CARE For many garments, the laundry bag is not the place to be. Hang your clothes on a rack and let the air do its magic. Remove smaller stains with natural basics from your kitchen, such as white vinegar, baking soda, and lemon, and only wash your garments when needed.
BE BRAVE Break a pattern and set the standard for future generations. Ask brands about their sustainability work and support the frontrunners.
