Sure it’s fun to get a bargain when you’re clothes shopping, but the fashion industry–particularly fast fashion–is really tough on the environment. Today I’m sharing an environmentally friendly way to get great clothes for cheap (that DOESN’T involve supporting cheap clothing brands that exploit human and natural resources). AND, how spending more money for the rest of your clothes saves you–and the planet–in the long run.
Today I’m talking about ways to responsibly spend less on the majority of the clothes you buy (in a planet-friendly way–no disposable clothes!), so that you can also spend more on certain pieces that are designed to last. It’s all geared to help you reduce the environmental impact of your clothing choices.
