WHERE DO OUR RETURNED CLOTHES GO? — After a few WHERE DO OUR RETURNED CLOTHES GO? —
After a few conversations I’ve had over the last couple of days, I’m realising that a lot of people don’t know what really happens to our clothes if we return them. If they’re tagged and in good condition then surely they’ll be resold right??

Not quite.

A lot of the time these clothes are sent to landfill or incineration as it’s the cheaper option for brands. Around 17% of our purchases are returned, creating a massive carbon footprint and around 5 billion pounds of waste, fuelling around 15 million tonnes of carbon dioxide.

So - what can we do?

There are many reasons we need to return clothes, and shouldn’t feel guilty because something didn’t fit right or is faulty. But if you can, shop less and shop well. Maybe look into renting or swapping if you can (however I realise this is a big privilege!!). And speak to your favourite brands, let them know your concerns and put pressure on them for transparency around these things! We also need system change to stop big brands creating so much waste, so if I find any movements around this, I will share them as well.

{Contains PR samples} Sustainable period products have always seemed a little daunting to me. I’ve never really known where to start but it was one change I really wanted to make this year. Enter: @meetdaye - I especially loved the CBD infused tampons which are a godsend with cramps. The cotton is organic and unbleached and they use sustainable packaging. Their applicators are bio-based sugarcane, the wrappers are water soluble and it comes in recyclable materials. They are a great place to start if you’re looking to be a little bit more sustainable this coming year🌍🤍

Five Tips For Your Next Road Trip

08/10/2019

/ travel

Going on a road trip is super fun, but there’s some planning that needs to go into it before you head off. To make your next road trip more successful, here are five tips that are worth knowing for your next adventure.

Check Your Car Beforehand

It’s always wise to ensure that your car is ready for a trip on the road, no matter how long this trip might take. Especially when it comes to journeys that are going to be more than just a couple of hours long. Do a visual check of your vehicle and to check that all your wheels are pumped up and that there’s no visible damage to the car on the outside. If it’s due an MOT test fairly soon, then it’s worth getting that booked in before going on the trip just in case. If you’re after a new car, then this Audi Dealer has plenty of options and to pay on a monthly basis if needed.

Stock Up On Snacks

Snacks are essential when you’re on the road, particularly if you’re on a tight schedule and therefore don’t plan on stopping anywhere for a meal. Try to stock up on these snacks before you travel so that you can put together a list of what’s going to be needed. Ask your passengers also to bring their own snacks but avoid bringing anything that will make a mess. Sticky foods will require some wet wipes or cleaning alternatives, so be sure to think about this for your shopping list before going.

Plan Your Route

When it comes to your route, it’s a good idea to plan it out before you go. Having your SatNav or phone to hand will be good at creating a few routes on top of your main one, so should there be any issues, you can easily pick an alternative. A lot of time can often be wasted by trying to find alternative routes that might actually end up taking longer. Planning a getaway is fun, but if you don’t have much idea of a route, the road trip can end up being a stressful one.

Brief Passengers On Luggage Space

Luggage space is often the problem when it comes to road trips because the likelihood of where you’re going is going to be for a few days. That means you’ve got your luggage and anyone else who is coming in with you. Your luggage space may vary depending on the car you have, so it’s always best to brief your fellow passengers and to let them know just how much space you have available. That means you spend less time playing Jenga in the back of your car.

Schedule In Breaks

And finally, a road trip needs to be a safe one, and that only happens if the driver is fully energised and alert to their surroundings. Schedule plenty of breaks along the way to avoid any dangers.

Follow these tips, and you’ll have a stress-free and fun road trip ahead!
