How to Find Ethically Sourced Fashion

How to Find Ethically Sourced Fashion

This is the first topic I became interested in when I started to learn about sustainability myself. I think that a lot of people are starting to realize the negative effect fast fashion brands such as H&M and Forever21, among so many others, are having 

Alternatives for Your Home Cleaning Products

Alternatives for Your Home Cleaning Products

It may not surprise you that most likely the home cleaning products that are in each of our houses are not eco-friendly. All the plastic, chemicals, and artificial components of the cleaners.

Brands to Follow for Inspiration and Information

Brands to Follow for Inspiration and Information

Following other people who are in their journey to sustainability can be very inspiring. In today’s blog, we’re going to talk about a few brands that I have enjoyed following and learning from. Some people can be kind of intense about how sustainable they are and it can be a little discouraging to see the difference between how you are living and how they are but don’t let that stop you from making changes in your own life. Everyone follows their own journey and this list is meant to just inspire and educate those who read it.

Podcast: https://brightly.eco/podcast/

This resource is great. Not only do they have a great Insta platform to educate people but they also have a popular podcast that I really enjoy. Some episodes are a little too specific to things that don’t apply to me so I usually just look for the topics that I am interested in and listen to those instead of just playing through them all like most of my other podcasts. I hope you too enjoy this resource!

Website: https://www.grove.co/home/

This source isn’t really so much informative as it is inspirational. Grove sells sustainable homecare, beauty, etc. products. I enjoy their Insta page for learning more about sustainable alternatives to big name brands. I haven’t ordered anything from Grove yet but I plan to soon. I enjoy their website too. It is fun to look around at and helps inspire me. I hope it inspires you too!

  1. Tentree

Again, I haven’t ordered anything yet from Tentree but I hope to sometime soon. This is a great informational source. They are an apparel company so they are selling clothing but they also do raise awareness of deforestation and they plant ten trees for every item that is purchased. They are a great company on a mission to further sustainability. I hope you like their page! 

I hope that these sources are a good start to places you can follow for inspiration and information. There are so many other great sources out there as well. Let me know in the comments if you have any sources you enjoy following on sustainability. Thanks for reading this week’s blog! Next week we will talk about how to change your home cleaning products to good alternatives.
