Let's be honest

Reducing our dependence on single-use plastics is difficult.

But it’s not impossible. For me, one of the biggest hurdles was changing how I thought about shopping for clothes.

I want to wear cute things, but at what cost?

When I realized that giving my clothes away doesn’t keep them out of landfills, I knew I had to make better choices about what I buy and wear.

It may seem basic, but I now read clothing labels to make sure items are cotton or linen instead of buying clothes just because they look cute.

I can’t afford to replace my entire wardrobe at once, so I’m no longer wearing clothes made from synthetic materials.

I even donated some of my synthetic items to an acquaintance who repurposes the clothes, and what she doesn't sell goes to people experiencing homelessness. That makes me feel better about the change.

People + the Planet.
