07: is Plant Faced Clothing the way forward to ethical & stylish attire?

Ethical & Stylish Street Wear - what's not to love? From the get go, there is a lot to like about the Plant Faced Clothing brand . That's even before you discover that they plant trees for every item purchased, and that they are queer owned and operated (Plant Faced, 2021). Vegan garments, non-toxic dyes, attractive designs, recyclable packaging...the list goes on... (Plant Faced, 2022) If the website doesn't draw you in, the good on you rating should.  Plant Faced Good On You rating details linked here With a new year's resolution to completely cut out fast fashion from my clothing diet, Plant Faced was top of my Christmas list. As Santa granted my sustainable garment wish, I am excited to share my thoughts on this brand and my experience so far.

Many of their items promote sustainable lifestyle with cleverly written text, s...

06 : the journey so far...

 

As the COP26 conference ends, so does the first series of my blog. However, this is only the beginning for adopting sustainable habits into our daily lives.

Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive of my blog so far. It has been an exciting journey and I have gained so much knowledge about the changes we can make in our daily life in order to be kinder to the planet. I hope you have too!

In my first blog, I  looked into shopping sustainability with focus on fashion and clothing. It was highlighted to be that increasing the lifecycle of garments is so important and there are many suitable alternatives to fast fashion. This includes making the best of what you have and of course shopping second hand where you can! 

Secondly, I looked into eating sustainability, researching food waste initiatives and discovering the ugly truth about food waste. My research highlighted the fact that food waste accounts for 10% of all green house gases (Too Good To Go, 2021). This number can be reduced if we ensure we make the best out of the food we eat!

As a special celebration creeped up in our calendar - it was topical to look into sustainable practices at Halloween in my third blog. Again, second hand purchasing and utilising what we have in our wardrobe was key here, as well as making full use of our favorite pumpkin. Who knew pumpkin pasta was so tasty?
My fourth blog looked into meat! Here I highlighted the benefits of becoming vegetarian and vegan, whilst showcasing my favourite meat free dishes. It is clear that there are benefits for the planet by moving towards a plant based diet, with a significant reduction of CO2 pollution .

Finally, plastic was discussed in my fifth blog. I discovered that plastic is not always so evil... However, it is better to avoid single use plastics where possible. They take a long time to degrade and are likely to end up in landfill and our oceans. 




Even after all my research, however, I am aware that what I have discussed in my blogs doesn't even scratch the surface of the changes we can make as individuals. 

For the future of the blog, I would like to know what you guys are keen to find out more about. Please leave suggestions  in the comments section or get in touch at katieblog2021@gmail.com

Thank you for your support. I look forward to blogging again soon :)
