👚 1. Wear What You Have First
Before buying new, ask:
-
Can I restyle this piece differently?
-
Can I repair it instead of replacing it?
-
Can I swap it with a friend?
🧵 Pro Tip: Get familiar with basic fixes—sewing on a button or stitching a small hole can add years to a garment’s life.
🔁 2. Buy Less, Choose Better
Instead of chasing fast trends, invest in high-quality essentials that last.
Look for:
-
Strong stitching and durable fabrics
-
Transparent supply chains
-
Certifications like OEKO-TEX, GOTS, or biodegradable labels (like ours 😉)
🧼 3. Wash Smarter
Your laundry routine has more impact than you think.
✅ Wash on cold
✅ Use eco-friendly detergent
✅ Air dry when you can
✅ Skip the dryer sheets and softeners—they pollute and wear down clothes faster
👣 4. Know Your Footprint
Every product you buy has an environmental cost—called a carbon footprint. Lower yours by:
-
Supporting local and regional brands (less shipping emissions)
-
Choosing biodegradable or recycled materials
-
Avoiding synthetics that shed microplastics (like polyester)
♻️ 5. Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle
Don’t toss your old tights or clothes. Try:
-
Tight-to-headband DIY (cut and tie!)
-
Sock dusters (great for cleaning)
-
Donate to charities or textile recycling programs
❤️ 6. Support Conscious Brands
When you support brands like April Twenty Two, you’re voting for a better future. Look for businesses that:
-
Use sustainable materials
-
Have ethical working conditions
-
Are transparent about their impact
-
Give back to environmental causes
🌱 7. Make Earth Day Every Day
You don’t need to be perfect. Just start somewhere and keep going.
Even one of these steps—done consistently—makes a difference. Sustainability isn’t a trend, it’s a habit.
Live it. Wear it. Share it.
Let’s build a better future, one outfit at a time.
