As we all become more environmentally conscious, many are looking for ways to reduce their impact on the planet. The fashion industry is known for its large carbon footprint and negative impact on the environment but we’re aiming to change this through more conscious collections. One way to reduce the impact of fashion on the environment is to choose fabrics that are sustainable and help to protect our oceans and rivers.

There are a number of fabrics that are great choices for those who want to help protect the oceans and rivers. Here are a few examples:

Organic Cotton

Organic cotton is grown without the use of harmful pesticides or fertilizers, which helps to reduce the amount of chemicals that end up in our waterways. Additionally, organic cotton farming practices tend to be more sustainable than conventional cotton farming practices, which can help to protect the health of rivers and oceans.

 

Recycled Polyester

Polyester is a popular fabric for clothing, but it is made from petroleum, which is a non-renewable resource. Recycled polyester, on the other hand, is made from recycled plastic bottles, which helps to reduce the amount of plastic that ends up in our oceans and rivers.

By choosing fabrics that are sustainable and help to protect our oceans and rivers, we can all do our part to reduce our impact on the environment. Whether you are buying clothing or home goods, look for fabrics that are made from sustainable materials and produced using environmentally friendly practices. Together, we can make a difference and help to protect our planet for generations to come.
