What is eco friendly fashion?
Eco friendly (sometimes also called sustainable fashion) is any piece of clothing that has been made in an environmentally sound way.
Sustainable fashion usually encompasses a broader aspect, strategically trying to maintain order and quality of resources through collective and individuals environmental practices.
So for example, a t-shirt made using natural fibers (think "organic") like cotton in a local factory that reuses materials would be eco friendly and sustainable. On the other hand, a t-shirt made using synthetic fibers, like nylon, and dyes would not be eco friendly.

Where can I find eco friendly fashion?

We've only skimmed the surface of what

I try to wear eco-friendly clothing. I don't always wear organic brands, but about 90% of my wardrobe has come to me through secondhand outlets. I do lots of thrifting and consigning and also tend to inherit a lot from my mum and people that I work for! I definitely consider sustainability when I'm shopping. I'm a big tree hugger!

I definitely did not even think of recycling clothing. Thrifting is a great idea for eco friendly shopping.

I think this is a very important topic and certainly something to think about. We should always be finding ways to make our fashionable desires environmentally friendly. I think this goes well with creating cruelty free cosmetics. We need to think about weather these things are with the destruction they create and its so important to try our best to minimize it! Great post, I think everyone should at least be aware of this.
ReplyDeleteYou are right Maxine, the same does go for cosmetics and any health product for that matter. I know on my shampoo bottle, Aussie, it says that it was not tested on animals. We should all definitely be more cautious and proactive by looking at labels.
