SUSTAINABLE I
FASHION By SHARON JANE @sharon.js
ncreasingly, the blue and green planet we call home has been reminding us how important it is to take care of it and what the consequences are when we don’t. Beloved forests are being diminished, oceans contaminated, and species harmed. Therefore, people have progressively begun to take action by living a more sustainable lifestyle that immensely benefits the environment. What is a “sustainable” lifestyle? A sustainable lifestyle consists of making minor changes in our daily routines that can make an enormous impact to the betterment of our planet. Composting, using reusable items, reducing the usage of plastic objects, switching from paper bills and receipts to electronic ones, gardening, and unplugging power strips at night are some of the many things we can do that will surely have a healing effect (and it will be kind to your wallet, as well!). More specifically, in an industry like fashion where the term “fast fashion” exists and is greatly feared, making it more sustainable would be a major step forward for our environment. Amazing brands like Mate the Label, H&M, Reformation, Stella McCartney, and Mara Hoffman have been sustainable fashion pioneers and are setting a grand example of techniques and changes other brands could and should make.
