Last month I was part of a really cool event here in Tacoma - The Future of Textile Waste Symposium, hosted by The Chayah Movement. Today, I'm so excited to share the recording of the panel discussion I was part of: Redirecting Textile Waste: Closing the Loop and Innovating for a Sustainable Future.
In March 2024, the lower house of parliament in France unanimously approved a bill aimed at curbing the consumption of ultra-fast-fashion clothing items. It still needs approval from the senate, but here's what you need to know about this groundbreaking legislation.
I have received countless questions about what to do with old, worn out clothes, and my answer has always been somewhere along the lines of “throw them in the trash can.” But are there better options? Does true textile and clothing recycling exist? Or are we all out here being bamboozled by companies trying to exploit our desire to do good? Let's dive into it.
Most sustainability documentaries are trash. But there are some truly spectacular documentaries about sustainability, waste, and climate change that have had lasting, positive impacts on my life. Here's 7 of my favorite documentaries to inspire you to live more sustainably - without guilt, shame, fear, and absolutism.
Switching to reusable period underwear has been a freaking GAME CHANGER. But if you've never used them before, they can seem "gross" if you don't know how to clean and take care of them. So today we're taking a deep dive into how to properly care for zero waste period undies - with no mess and no smell.
Hang drying your laundry isn't just great for the planet, but it's great for you, too. Here are the five reasons I choose to hang-dry nearly all of my laundry.
Many of us, myself included, choose the hot setting for some loads because we believe the hot setting will sanitize our laundry. But apparently that's not the case. Washing your laundry on cold benefits the planet, but maybe it benefits you too.
Apparently there’s a lot happening in the jewelry space. I knew NONE of this before digging into the research and HOLY MOLY, friend. But knowing the problems with traditional jewelry options can help us all make better choices in the future.
I used to imagine our clothes were made by big industrial machines. But they’re not. They’re made by real life, living, breathing, humans. And fast fashion is creating huge problems for both our planet and those very real people. We can do something about it.
As I watched Tidying Up with Marie Kondo, I found myself wondering about the environmental impacts of this movement sweeping the Western world, and whether the KonMari method addresses the root of the “stuff” problem - overconsumption and devaluing of our possessions. I spent hours pondering this question, and now I am jumping on the Marie Kondo and KonMari bandwagon.
