5 Ways You Can Properly Commit To Sustainable

5 Ways You Can Properly Commit To Sustainable Fashion Sustainable fashion 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.
