Together, we can adopt a more sustainable lifestyle with confidence and joy!
What you buy can impact the environment and humankind for generations.
Waste occurs at every stage of the garment manufacturing process, harming wildlife, degrading land, and polluting soil and water. Between 200,000 and 500,000 tonnes of microplastics from textiles enter the global marine environment each year. 85% of all textiles go to the dump each year. The fashion industry's impacts on pollution, water use, carbon emissions, human rights, and gender inequality are only increasing.
We have a problem
The equivalent of 1 full garbage truck of textiles is wasted every second. That’s 216,000 trucks every hour.
The Ellen Macarthur Foundation estimates that by 2050, we’ll put 150 million tons of textiles into landfills or incinerators annually. That’s about 937 billion men’s t-shirts.
We typically wear any given item of clothing about 7 times before disposing of it. In the U.S. the average person generates 82 pounds of textile waste every year.
Every year, thousands of acres of endangered and ancient forests are cut down and replaced by plantations of trees used to make wood-based fabrics such as rayon, viscose, and modal.
30% of rayon and viscose clothing are also sourced from these endangered and ancient forests. On top of this, fashion brands incinerate billions of dollars worth of unsold inventory every year to create the illusion of consumer exclusivity.
70 million trees are cut down every year to make our clothes. The production of polyester textiles alone emits about 706 million tons of greenhouse gases a year.
There are visionaries and brands who are looking to create sustainable practices for people and the planet. And YOU can make choices that create powerful impacts.
Cultivating your personal style is the most effective way to minimize your fashion consumption.
“You no longer need to be gaslighted by fashion and beauty campaigns or so-called “influencers.” Take your power and your hard-earned cash to make your own choices. Be your own brand.”
— Gigi Von Del

Why is this product cheap? Is it because of unfair wages paid in other countries? Is it because of some kind of slave labour? Was the making of it damaging to the environment? Was it cruel to animals?

Humanity is at the mouth of a very long, very dark tunnel. And right at the end of that tunnel, there’s a little star that’s hope. And it’s no good sitting at the mouth of the tunnel folding our arms and hoping that the star will come.
-
we have to roll up our sleeves. We have to climb over, crawl under and work our way around all the obstacles that stand between us and the star: climate change, biodiversity loss, killing of the soil, harming the ocean, and poverty.

There are so many reasons for hope. Young people are my main reason for hope. We know what we ought to do. We understand all the different ways that we can combat and slow down climate change. But do we have the will?

What is your relationship with shopping? What are your shopping Habits?
Place value on what you already have - care and repair what you own.
Endless shopping ultimately harms you; you're just tossing money away.
Consider how things were made - support planet-friendly ways/brands.
“All the money goes to the world-building. That’s why I am saying no to every fucking brand deal right now (...) No amount of money is going to [make me] consider working with [anyone]. It has to be a hundred percent right.”
