🌎 Today, July 28th, we reached 2022's #EarthOvershootDay, marking the day that we've used up all the biological resources that Earth regenerates during one year. What does that mean?
On this year's Earth Overshoot Day, we hope to remind you of how precious and finite our planet's resources are and ask you to rethink your consumption habits so that Earth Overshoot Day can fall later in 2023.
♻️ One option: you can stop by one of our events or our online shop for some sustainable fashion! #MoveTheDate
♻️ Recycle your plastic waste! Plastic is everywhere nowadays, and it is almost impossible to avoid using some form of plastic. But, when you have plastic, make sure you throw it in the recycling bin, not the general waste bin, so that the resources can be recovered and reused!
☕️ Get a Take-Away Mug (also called Keep-Cups) for hot drinks! A lot of coffee shops will even give you a discount for providing your own cup, instead of using their disposable ones!
💚 June 5th marks #WorldEnvironmentDay Some facts to remind you that a single item in our wardrobes can impact the planet and its resources.

• 2.6kg of CO2 equivalents = enough to drive 15-20km by car.
• 2,000L of water = enough for one person for 2.5 years
• 160kg of pesticides and herbicides.
Figures like these contribute to the reasons we advocate for #preloved fashion. Great clothes already exist and should have as many lifetimes of wear as possible.
Re-wear, repair, swap, borrow, and thrift. 🌍👖🧡
