The Everyday Sustainability Guide

👚 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.
