What we choose to wear makes a statement about who we are - let’s make it wildlife-friendly!
Just like animal-based foods, animal derived materials are inherently unsustainable, requiring vast areas of land and water to produce, whilst emitting huge quantities of greenhouse gas emissions.
Thankfully, we can choose from a plethora of more sustainable, wildlife-friendly material options available.
So how can I ensure my wardrobe is having the smallest impact on wildlife possible?
Try buying pre-loved clothes: There are already so many pieces of clothing in already in existence, which have already taken from the planet, and been made by people. We need to ensure they are loved, cared for, and enjoyed.
Repairing or repurposing clothes you already have: rather than purchasing new items when something has become worn, you can try to repair or repurpose them rather than throwing them out.
If you need to buy something new, ensure the brand you buy from uses wildlife friendly materials.
