Fashion trends come and go, but the clothes you buy remain in your wardrobe. Make an eco-savvy decision today to green your wardrobe:
The first step towards greening your wardrobe is to learn to work with what you have instead of buying new. Shop with a plan. Know what you are looking for in the long run to save time and eliminate clutter. The easiest repair you can do for your clothing is replacing a button. The greenest way to keep your clothes clean is to hand wash and line-dry your clothes. Doing your laundry by hand lets you avoid the harmful chemicals in dry cleaning, while using the clothesline help reduce up to 320 kg of carbon dioxide a year. Organic cotton is the most eco-friendly fiber material for clothes. About 0.2 kg worth of pesticides go into producing enough conventional cotton just for one t-shirt, as opposed to organic cotton. Multiply that by the thousands of t-shirts manufactured a year and you will realize how much damage your wardrobe can cause the environment.
