Becoming a conscious consumer is one of the simplest ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Sustainable fashion carries a stigma of being pricey, but wouldn’t you rather spend a little more on something that 1) is NOT accelerating the decay of our planet 2) will last years longer than those Urban Outfitters impulse-buys that fall apart in two seasons?
