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.

SUSTAINABLE PERIODS — {Contains PR samples} Sust

SUSTAINABLE PERIODS —
{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🌍🤍

Good morning campers🏕 coming out the other end

Good morning campers🏕 coming out the other end of those funny few weeks where you’re not sure what day it is exactly and it is acceptable to crack open the Baileys at 12 has certainly been weird and my sleeping pattern isn’t quite back on track, but I hope you all had a lovely time nonetheless and feel somewhat more refreshed and ready to head into 2021 despite lockdown 3🤍

This is basically a @annalouoflondon fan account, the most BEAUTIFUL handmade jewellery. At the big old age of 22 I finally got my ears pierced (I know, I know) and I couldn’t be more excited to start my earring collection off with these beauts🤍

(Ring and necklace are also from Anna Lou - the ring was kindly gifted a few months ago and I bought the necklace last year, like I said, this is a fan account now)

I miss being by the coast and going on long hikes. I’ve already started planning where I want to explore in the new year (Covid permitting of course), anyone else?🥾
