The fashion industry is responsible for around 10 percent of global carbon emissions, more than international flights and shipping combined.
Buy fewer, better pieces and wear them longer, since extending a garment’s life by nine months cuts its footprint by about 30 percent.
Choose natural fibers and secondhand when you can, because a thrifted item avoids the emissions of making something new entirely.
Care for what you own by washing cold and air-drying, and repair small tears instead of replacing the whole piece.
