Learn more about sustainability, slow fashion and being a conscious consumer
Once you start delving into the implication of what sustainable living means it can quickly become overwhelming and leave you wondering where to start. It can also make you feel bad and put off thinking about adopting sustainable practises into your own life at all. Starting by choosing one area to change and focusing on that is likely to be more rewarding than attempting a daunting overhaul of all habits. Doing something small is better than doing nothing and it may lead to adopting more sustainable practices in everyday life as you become more aware of your impact on the environment and the social consequences. The Sustainable Movement is rapidly becoming mainstream and there's more and more information and awareness than ever before. I'm sharing some resources that I've found enlightening and hope that you might, too.
