For the first time ever, the environmental impact of clothing repair has been calculated?? For decades, clothing repairs have been being completed without any insight into how this translates into environmental change. We are so excited to share that we have worked with WRAP to finally be able to quantify on how clothing repair is helping the planet. Swipe to see the statistics that show how the small act of repair has a huge impact on the planet.

Do you care about shopping sustainably? One textile waste sorting centre in Greater Manchester said it had around 15,500 tonnes of clothing through its doors last year. With fast fashion blamed for more clothes in the north-west being discarded thanteyer before, we asked Gen Z about their outfitses #FastFashion #sustainability #sustainablefashion #genz

TENCEL? Lyocell fibers are produced from eucalyptus tree fibres, being manufactured using an environmentally responsible production process. It is also durable, breathable and non-toxic to the skin, making it a better quality experience for everyday life of the consumer as well as for the environment.

In 2018, the U.S. generated 35.7 million tons of plastic waste. With plastic production expected to triple by 2060, this overproduction crisis is worsening, as plastic is not truly recyclable-it pollutes ecosystems and endangers wildlife. Instead of purchasing new items, consider alternatives: buy less, buy nothing, repair what you have, borrow when possible, and find ways to reuse what you already own. #zerowastehome #zerowasteliving #zerowastelifestyle #zerowastejourney #zerowastecommunity #sustainablecollective #ecofriendly #zerowastecanada #journeytozerowaste #plasticfree #goingzerowaste #sustainableliving #reducewaste #wastefree #zerowastesolutions #naturalliving #naturalhome #noplastic #saynotoplastic #ecoliving

They have known all along-The processed food filling our shelves is packed with toxic chemicals that are making us sick. A new Consumer Reports study tested everyday foods and found nearly all contained bisphenols and phthalates-harmful chemicals linked to serious health risks. The biggest culprits? ??Fast food (McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, Chipotle) ??Baby formula & food (Similac, Gerber, Beech-Nut) ??Kids’ favorites (Juicy Juice, Cheerios, Annie’s, Chef Boyardee + more) ??Seafood (Chicken of the Sea, even salmon-thanks to plastic pollution) These chemicals don’t just affect us-they impact developing babies before birth, contributing to infertility, birth defects, and premature birth. And the damage doesn’t stop there. Children are being exposed to chemicals linked to cancer, obesity, diabetes, and neurological disorders-through foods marketed directly to them. These toxins don’t just pass through our system-they accumulate in our brains. New research shows microplastics are now found in human brain tissue-with dementia patients showing even higher levels. At the same time, dementia rates are projected to double by 2060. This is not normal. This is not safe. Plastics don’t belong in our food, our bodies, or our brains.

SKIMS has made a name for itself, but their lack of transparency raises questions. There’s a lot we don’t know. Slide to find out more???? #skims #transparency #sustainability #fastfashion

Debra Rapoport makes hats out of “found materials”, such as egg cartons, twigs and coated telephone wire - also known as garbage. Although most people throw out their trash without thinking about it, Debra (also known as “Debra Debris” and “Residue Rapoport”) finds value in the discarded and makes art from waste. The NYC style icon is recycling, freecyling and relieving the overcrowded landfills - one high fashion trash hat at a time. #recycling #freecycling #fashion #nyc #style #icon
