Hand me down clothing and swapping is what I do for the most part. There is a store in Victoria called Chai and they refurbish old Indian clothing, and it's absolutely beautiful.

There is a brand called Skyline Outerwear based in Canmore Alberta that makes technical Garments using methods that reduces material consumption by a tone while using recycled everything. It's actually very cool and the products are shockingly next level.

Excellent story. So many companies use creative words to fool the consumer. Hopefully this video will educate people and help them to make the proper decision. An educated shopper is a companies worst nightmare.

Well companys could start by not ripping their clothes so that they become unusable and open charity thrift shops. It should be illegal for the industry to throw something perfectly usable and new.

More expensive clothing would entice people to both use the items longer and possibly even repair them.

Easy to put a Greenleaf on everything not too easy to explain why it’s environmental.

Maybe a third-party audit shouldn’t be optional, depending on the product or claims

Keeping the price down I think would definitely allow people on low incomes as well as seniors to obtain sustainable clothing.
