Our impulse buys are more costly than ever. With every closet clean out, 20% of our discards actually get reused or recycled, the rest ends up sitting in a landfill emitting staggering levels of greenhouse gasses. We can compost, call our senators, recycle, give to charity but, ultimately, one of the easiest ways to protect our planet is by giving our clothing a longer life. Tailor, mend, donate to programs that recycle fabric and shop with companies that believe in living wages and safe workplaces. A closet that you’re proud of is within your budget.
