Sustainability at Home – The Clothing Edition

Sustainability in clothing comes in lots of different forms. Here are a few ideas for how to build more sustainability into a wardrobe.

  • Own less – share items you no longer use. Buy fewer additional items. (Also means a less cluttered closet!)
  • Buy better quality – have a few quality items instead of many cheaper ones.
  • Mix and match – buy basic items that can easily be matched with other items.
  • Support sustainable brands and make thoughtful purchasing choices. (Check the MennoAdventures online store for lots of great options!)

Here are today’s questions (you are invited to answer any or all, in the comments!):

  • What sustainable choices have you made in your wardrobe?
  • What changes are you curious about but unsure how to proceed?
  • What is your favourite switch that you have made so far?
  • What’s one sustainable change that you wish everyone would do?
