0:00:00.000,0:00:03.072
Today, most of the new clothes[br]available to us.

0:00:03.072,0:00:05.445
come from the fast fashion industry,

0:00:05.596,0:00:07.385
which is one of the most destructive

0:00:07.385,0:00:09.589
industries currently on earth.

0:00:10.226,0:00:11.753
But the good news is

0:00:11.753,0:00:13.594
there are great alternatives.

0:00:13.594,0:00:15.771
Today, my friend Kamea Chayne

0:00:15.771,0:00:18.076
is going to share her top tips for

0:00:18.076,0:00:20.085
a sustainable and ethical wardrobe.

0:00:20.351,0:00:23.009
So, if you like to dress fashionably,

0:00:23.009,0:00:25.505
or if you simply wear clothes at all,

0:00:25.701,0:00:27.805
then this video is definitely for you.

0:00:27.805,0:00:28.803
Here she is.

0:00:29.507,0:00:30.926
Hey, it is Kamea Chayne here.

0:00:30.926,0:00:34.671
I am the curator at the directory[br]consciousfashion.co

0:00:34.671,0:00:37.474
and I am also the host of Green [br]Dreamer Podcast,

0:00:37.952,0:00:40.306
which Rob has actually been a [br]repeat guest on

0:00:40.306,0:00:42.085
because he is incredible, as we know,

0:00:42.309,0:00:45.212
and I am always learning so much from him.

0:00:45.212,0:00:47.782
I am really grateful to have this[br]opportunity

0:00:47.782,0:00:50.332
to take you through 10 of my favorite

0:00:50.576,0:00:52.202
sustainable fashion tips.

0:00:52.412,0:00:54.353
They do go from what is the

0:00:54.353,0:00:56.295
easiest and most accessible,

0:00:56.295,0:00:57.610
to what may require

0:00:57.610,0:00:59.336
more thought and more research.

0:00:59.531,0:01:01.132
You can kind of go through them

0:01:01.270,0:01:03.319
and see what stands out to you most

0:01:03.511,0:01:05.135
or what resonates most with you

0:01:05.227,0:01:07.580
that may work best for you and go[br]from there.

0:01:07.675,0:01:09.127
The first thing that we can do

0:01:09.127,0:01:11.344
is to simply make the most use

0:01:11.344,0:01:13.191
of everything we already have.

0:01:13.375,0:01:17.112
There is this idea that sustainable[br]fashion is unattainable.

0:01:17.112,0:01:18.705
It is too expensive.

0:01:18.705,0:01:19.947
It is unaffordable.

0:01:19.947,0:01:21.490
Well, we do not have to buy

0:01:21.490,0:01:24.394
anything at all from sustainable

0:01:24.394,0:01:27.054
fashion brands or eco fashion brands

0:01:27.054,0:01:30.671
in order to participate in [br]sustainable fashion

0:01:30.764,0:01:33.223
or to be more eco-conscious with[br]our wardrobe

0:01:33.374,0:01:35.368
because one of the best things we can do

0:01:35.683,0:01:37.805
is to just make the most use

0:01:37.805,0:01:39.639
of everything that we already have.

0:01:39.837,0:01:42.583
For me personally, I have had this [br]scarf right here,

0:01:42.583,0:01:44.186
ever since I was in high school.

0:01:44.343,0:01:45.928
So it has been a while now.

0:01:46.155,0:01:49.844
Because it has been with me for [br]quite some time,

0:01:50.038,0:01:52.662
I have gone through a lot of different

0:01:52.858,0:01:55.916
memories and experiences with this scarf.

0:01:56.133,0:02:00.071
So even though it was not actually [br]that expensive

0:02:00.071,0:02:01.767
or there was not anything special

0:02:01.767,0:02:03.207
about it when I first got it.

0:02:03.207,0:02:05.420
I was not even eco-conscious,

0:02:05.602,0:02:07.947
or considered myself a conscious consumer

0:02:08.131,0:02:10.552
way back then, but because it has been

0:02:10.737,0:02:12.503
with me through so many experiences,

0:02:12.725,0:02:15.707
I feel like it has really enriched the [br]sentimental value

0:02:15.894,0:02:18.993
and sense of meaning that I get[br]from wearing this.

0:02:19.226,0:02:21.147
You might be able to relate with things

0:02:21.147,0:02:22.785
that you have had for a long time.

0:02:22.785,0:02:25.274
It really makes that item more meaningful

0:02:25.515,0:02:27.045
and more vauable to you.

0:02:27.291,0:02:28.680
That is the first thing.

0:02:28.876,0:02:31.423
Check the backs of your wardrobes,

0:02:31.423,0:02:32.732
the backs of your drawers,

0:02:32.732,0:02:34.100
to see what you already own.

0:02:34.100,0:02:35.916
Make the most use of it.

0:02:36.116,0:02:38.133
Also, you know, often times we end up

0:02:38.330,0:02:40.685
buying new things that look a lot like

0:02:40.864,0:02:41.959
things we already have.

0:02:42.140,0:02:44.496
Just taking inventory of what we [br]already own

0:02:44.687,0:02:47.826
every so often, can help us to[br]avoid doing that.

0:02:47.826,0:02:50.398
The second thing we can do is to borrow

0:02:50.398,0:02:53.546
clothes from our friends and family[br]members

0:02:53.546,0:02:54.741
or to rent clothing.

0:02:55.198,0:02:57.722
Of course, if you are so lucky to have

0:02:57.722,0:02:59.114
friends and family members

0:02:59.114,0:03:02.148
that have a similar clothing and [br]shoe size as you,

0:03:02.148,0:03:04.499
then that is definitely a great option.

0:03:04.499,0:03:07.243
Browse through their closets to see

0:03:07.243,0:03:09.219
if there is anything that you can borrow

0:03:09.219,0:03:11.101
for any events that you have coming up.

0:03:11.421,0:03:14.222
The other option is to rent clothing,

0:03:14.314,0:03:17.018
especially for things like special [br]occasion,

0:03:17.221,0:03:20.530
or attending friends' weddings and[br]stuff like that.

0:03:20.747,0:03:23.097
These are items of clothing that we might

0:03:23.219,0:03:25.721
otherwise only wear once or twice

0:03:25.721,0:03:27.279
if we were to buy them,

0:03:27.279,0:03:28.838
so it is more affordable

0:03:28.997,0:03:32.660
and we would be able to get even more

0:03:32.841,0:03:34.892
expressive with our fashion choices by

0:03:35.097,0:03:38.266
renting different items for different [br]special

0:03:38.453,0:03:39.939
occasions that we attend.

0:03:40.128,0:03:42.579
Also, if you have little ones in your [br]family

0:03:42.757,0:03:44.979
who are growing really quickly

0:03:44.979,0:03:47.202
in the stage in their lives,

0:03:47.470,0:03:51.773
I believe there are also clothing rental

0:03:51.944,0:03:53.958
subscription services now for children

0:03:54.169,0:03:55.697
because they grow so quickly

0:03:55.893,0:03:57.940
and grow out of their sizes so quickly

0:03:57.951,0:04:00.780
that it will ensure that you do not [br]necessarily

0:04:00.865,0:04:02.926
have to ,buy or own these items of [br]clothing

0:04:03.124,0:04:05.708
but it can make sure that these [br]items of clothing

0:04:05.888,0:04:08.707
are being recirculated among [br]different families,

0:04:08.707,0:04:11.542
so that they can be maximized in [br]their use.

0:04:11.759,0:04:14.846
My third tip is to make the most use

0:04:14.846,0:04:17.211
of things that are not necessarily

0:04:17.211,0:04:18.719
in our closets already,

0:04:18.719,0:04:20.319
but already exist out there.

0:04:20.392,0:04:23.749
This includes swapping items with [br]our friends,

0:04:23.931,0:04:26.643
or buying used clothing,

0:04:26.643,0:04:28.750
or also buying new clothing

0:04:28.750,0:04:31.624
that are made with waste fabrics.

0:04:31.814,0:04:35.417
There is also this misconception that if

0:04:35.475,0:04:37.873
you were to participate in [br]sustainable fashion,

0:04:38.065,0:04:40.287
then you have to be super minimalistic,

0:04:40.287,0:04:42.570
and try to wear the same things

0:04:42.640,0:04:44.633
every single day or something like that,

0:04:44.839,0:04:48.471
and that it can limit your ability to be

0:04:48.629,0:04:51.720
super expressive with your fashion [br]choices.

0:04:51.720,0:04:53.699
That is actually not true at all,

0:04:53.699,0:04:56.877
especially if you participate in the [br]used economy,

0:04:57.146,0:04:59.503
where you can still have a lot of [br]different

0:04:59.748,0:05:02.552
styles of clothes and still circulate,

0:05:02.747,0:05:07.446
or buy and consign, buy and consign.

0:05:07.664,0:05:09.584
You can still go through that cycle,

0:05:09.584,0:05:11.182
especially if you do it locally,

0:05:11.182,0:05:12.710
with local thrift shops.

0:05:12.710,0:05:15.262
You can still be super expressive

0:05:15.262,0:05:17.641
and have a lot of fun with your [br]fashion choices

0:05:17.641,0:05:21.434
without having it be wasteful, [br]materials-wise,

0:05:21.593,0:05:24.024
and not breaking your bank.

0:05:24.197,0:05:26.121
Because of course, shopping [br]second hand

0:05:26.218,0:05:28.735
will definitely be cheaper than if

0:05:28.735,0:05:29.978
we were to buy new.

0:05:29.978,0:05:32.164
That is the third tip that I have.

0:05:32.354,0:05:34.000
It is to shop second hand

0:05:34.000,0:05:35.647
to support the circular economy

0:05:35.706,0:05:37.289
or swap with your friends,

0:05:37.289,0:05:39.654
or buy new clothes that are made

0:05:39.654,0:05:42.739
with surplus or waste fabrics.

0:05:43.012,0:05:44.674
The fourth thing that we can do is

0:05:44.843,0:05:46.614
when we are buying new clothes,

0:05:46.824,0:05:50.762
of course, to go for quality over [br]quantity.

0:05:50.762,0:05:52.152
That is kind of a given.

0:05:52.179,0:05:55.266
When we are buying new, prioritize

0:05:55.423,0:05:59.527
low impact, natural, and [br]biodegradable fibers.

0:05:59.663,0:06:01.915
Once you dive into this, there is really

0:06:01.915,0:06:04.094
a lot of nuance that goes into it.

0:06:04.258,0:06:06.824
But I would say, to start, you can look

0:06:07.022,0:06:14.679
for things like organic cotton, linen, [br]hemp, tensile, lyocell,

0:06:14.679,0:06:17.754
and if you do wear wool, to ensure

0:06:17.754,0:06:19.798
you know where it comes from,

0:06:19.798,0:06:22.094
to ensure the company behind it

0:06:22.094,0:06:24.106
has really ethical practices

0:06:24.149,0:06:26.267
and has transparency,

0:06:26.267,0:06:28.174
or even some certifications,

0:06:28.174,0:06:29.620
which we will go into later.

0:06:29.620,0:06:32.153
But those are just some things that [br]you can look for

0:06:32.153,0:06:33.682
when you are just starting out.

0:06:33.991,0:06:37.100
The fifth thing is having a wardrobe

0:06:37.100,0:06:40.569
of 100% natural fibers is not [br]always possible,

0:06:40.780,0:06:43.569
especially if you do yoga,

0:06:43.569,0:06:45.232
or you are a swimmer,

0:06:45.232,0:06:49.303
or you are an athlete, or you go skiing,

0:06:49.303,0:06:51.037
or you live in a really cold place,

0:06:51.037,0:06:53.111
and things like that where you do need

0:06:53.111,0:06:57.166
the performance properties of [br]synthetic fibers.

0:06:57.182,0:07:01.993
In these scenarios, definitely [br]prioritize second hand.

0:07:01.993,0:07:03.933
But also, if you are buying new,

0:07:03.933,0:07:07.051
you can also look for recycled fibers.

0:07:07.320,0:07:09.957
So now a days, there are a lot of [br]swim suits,

0:07:10.208,0:07:14.312
or athletic wear, or yoga wear that

0:07:14.312,0:07:19.286
are made of things like nylon, [br]polyester, and so forth.

0:07:19.453,0:07:21.393
But they are actually recycled nylon,

0:07:21.393,0:07:24.051
or recycled polyester, or things like [br]that.

0:07:24.051,0:07:26.674
So if you are buying new clothes

0:07:26.674,0:07:31.299
that need to have these special [br]performance properties,

0:07:31.299,0:07:33.795
then definitely look for recycled fibers

0:07:33.961,0:07:37.332
as opposed to virgin microplastic fibers.

0:07:37.536,0:07:41.012
My sixth tip is to look for[br]certifications.

0:07:41.236,0:07:43.358
There are numerous out there.

0:07:43.567,0:07:46.855
You can look at what sort of certification

0:07:46.855,0:07:48.877
the companies have or the [br]products have

0:07:49.066,0:07:51.515
and then just do a quick search for [br]what they mean.

0:07:51.630,0:07:54.416
Just to give you a quick idea of some

0:07:54.416,0:07:57.482
that are more notable in the [br]fashion space,

0:07:57.482,0:08:00.387
I have my notes here so I don't [br]forget the key ones.

0:08:00.440,0:08:04.586
There is the OEKO-TEX 100 [br]standard certification

0:08:04.586,0:08:06.390
which denotes non-toxic.

0:08:06.528,0:08:09.802
There is the GOTS Organic for [br]organic cotton.

0:08:09.899,0:08:12.764
There is B Corp, which is pretty [br]well known.

0:08:12.962,0:08:14.976
It is more general to certify companies

0:08:14.976,0:08:17.557
that are transparent and have eco

0:08:17.557,0:08:20.765
and ethical practices in general,

0:08:20.765,0:08:23.338
or are conscious about their practices.

0:08:23.338,0:08:27.766
There is the ZQ Certification that [br]certifies ethical wool.

0:08:27.766,0:08:28.957
There is Cradle to Cradle

0:08:28.957,0:08:31.334
that really looks at minimizing waste.

0:08:31.334,0:08:34.365
There is Bluesign Verified which verifies

0:08:34.567,0:08:36.484
eco conscious manufacturing practices.

0:08:36.573,0:08:39.649
And then, of course, there is [br]Fair Trade Certification

0:08:39.649,0:08:41.971
which denotes ethical labor.

0:08:42.397,0:08:45.404
They pay the artisans and garment workers

0:08:45.404,0:08:47.328
a fair and living wage.

0:08:47.357,0:08:50.858
So yeah, look for certifications[br]where you can.

0:08:51.209,0:08:54.218
My seventh tip is to support artisan made

0:08:54.315,0:08:57.137
clothing that really help to preserve

0:08:57.137,0:09:01.720
cultural diversity, as well as [br]traditional craftsmanship.

0:09:01.794,0:09:03.924
Once we get into this category of[br]clothing,

0:09:03.924,0:09:06.279
they can tend to be more expensive,

0:09:06.279,0:09:09.521
due to the nature of it being handmade,

0:09:09.521,0:09:14.078
as opposed to mass produced in a factory

0:09:14.337,0:09:16.618
using primarily machines that can

0:09:16.618,0:09:18.572
just things out really quickly.

0:09:18.777,0:09:21.772
With this, because it is more expensive,

0:09:21.955,0:09:24.658
we are likely to not be able to buy things

0:09:24.856,0:09:27.093
as quickly, which again, forces us

0:09:27.093,0:09:29.205
to slow down our consumption.

0:09:29.205,0:09:30.987
At the same time, a lot of artisans

0:09:30.987,0:09:33.765
already are using natural materials

0:09:33.931,0:09:36.372
that are readily available in their[br]local region,

0:09:36.516,0:09:39.213
which helps us to ensure that we are not

0:09:39.418,0:09:41.107
contributing to over-extraction,

0:09:41.107,0:09:43.457
because their slower pace of

0:09:43.457,0:09:45.159
making these items also means

0:09:45.159,0:09:48.478
that they are able to use what is [br]readily available,

0:09:48.478,0:09:51.733
and respect that slower, biological

0:09:51.733,0:09:54.706
cycle of the things that are growing[br]in their region.

0:09:55.062,0:09:56.580
My eighth tip...

0:09:56.580,0:09:58.012
This is one that I have been

0:09:58.012,0:10:00.387
personally getting into these days,

0:10:00.387,0:10:01.861
and I am really excited about.

0:10:01.861,0:10:04.219
... is not just priortizing clothes

0:10:04.219,0:10:06.590
made with organic, natural fibers

0:10:06.590,0:10:08.382
that are a low impact,

0:10:08.382,0:10:10.743
but also prioritizing natural fibers

0:10:10.743,0:10:15.165
that are dyed using natural plant [br]dyes.

0:10:15.165,0:10:18.396
Right now, the majority of our clothes

0:10:18.542,0:10:22.223
are being dyed using synthetic dyes.

0:10:22.223,0:10:25.488
Some are certified non-toxic [br]synthetic dyes,

0:10:25.488,0:10:27.887
but a lot are also Azo dyes,

0:10:27.887,0:10:29.998
which is a whole family of dyes

0:10:29.998,0:10:32.389
that include known carcinogenic

0:10:32.389,0:10:35.540
or neurotoxic chemicals in them.

0:10:35.683,0:10:40.420
Something that we can do to support

0:10:40.614,0:10:43.452
the soil to soil circularity, meaning that

0:10:43.480,0:10:45.346
our clothes, at the end of their lives,

0:10:45.563,0:10:47.746
can return to the soil safely,

0:10:47.746,0:10:51.412
without being toxic to the soil [br]microbiology,

0:10:51.579,0:10:54.130
is to ensure that clothes are not treated

0:10:54.320,0:10:56.436
with things like formaldehyde

0:10:56.436,0:10:58.252
or they are not dyed using

0:10:58.252,0:11:00.137
a concoction of chemical dyes.

0:11:00.137,0:11:05.094
For example, I have this and

0:11:05.420,0:11:07.664
this one right here, this is dyed...

0:11:07.664,0:11:09.698
I actually forget what plant it

0:11:09.713,0:11:11.565
was dyed using, but this is actually

0:11:11.565,0:11:15.837
a fully organic and hemp blend jacket.

0:11:15.837,0:11:16.891
It is like a crop top.

0:11:17.066,0:11:19.053
I have been loving wearing this.

0:11:19.232,0:11:21.904
It is dyed using plant dyes.

0:11:22.079,0:11:25.876
I also have these lounge pants that I wear

0:11:26.091,0:11:27.557
all the time when I am at home

0:11:27.557,0:11:29.680
This is actually colored cotton.

0:11:29.877,0:11:32.768
It was not dyed at all because the cotton

0:11:32.966,0:11:38.350
that was grown is a variety that [br]naturally

0:11:38.364,0:11:40.252
has a light brown tinge to it.

0:11:40.425,0:11:42.701
That is something we forget as well.

0:11:42.897,0:11:45.186
We think of cotton as only being white,

0:11:45.425,0:11:48.915
when in reality, there used to be,

0:11:49.089,0:11:52.250
and there still is, but in small amounts,

0:11:52.250,0:11:53.883
cotton of a variety of colors,

0:11:53.883,0:11:56.993
like blue, green, I believe even red,

0:11:56.993,0:12:00.689
and certainly different shades of [br]brown as well.

0:12:00.864,0:12:02.964
This is all really exciting to look into.

0:12:03.163,0:12:05.408
You know, prioritizing color grown fibers,

0:12:05.563,0:12:07.601
as well as natural plant dyes.

0:12:07.840,0:12:10.428
Number nine is to diversify.

0:12:10.615,0:12:13.019
This is one that is more difficult

0:12:13.214,0:12:15.385
for us to work on right now,

0:12:15.385,0:12:16.985
especially individually

0:12:16.985,0:12:18.778
just due to the limited options

0:12:18.778,0:12:20.197
that we have out there.

0:12:20.369,0:12:22.976
But, I say this because if you think[br]about how

0:12:22.976,0:12:25.509
yes, we know organic cotton, for example

0:12:25.754,0:12:27.908
to be a relatively more eco friendly[br]option,

0:12:28.109,0:12:30.625
but imagine if everybody were to

0:12:30.625,0:12:32.881
buy only organic cotton clothing.

0:12:33.079,0:12:35.010
What that would end up doing is

0:12:35.010,0:12:36.228
we would have to convert

0:12:36.228,0:12:40.737
a lot of diverse localized eco-regions

0:12:40.737,0:12:44.209
and take out the biodiversity there

0:12:44.209,0:12:47.506
to plant monocultures of organic cotton

0:12:47.506,0:12:50.429
in order to meet the increasing demands

0:12:50.429,0:12:53.168
of organic cotton all over the globe.

0:12:53.616,0:12:55.490
Diversification is really important

0:12:55.490,0:12:58.516
so that we can support biodiversity

0:12:58.516,0:12:59.521
in different places.

0:13:00.091,0:13:01.989
There are a lot of lesser known fibers

0:13:02.000,0:13:04.287
that have not really been mass produced

0:13:04.363,0:13:06.199
that a lot of people have not heard of

0:13:06.199,0:13:07.604
or do not know a lot about.

0:13:07.806,0:13:10.338
Some examples are Ramie.

0:13:10.338,0:13:12.448
I do not know if I am saying that [br]correctly,

0:13:12.448,0:13:13.950
but it is spelled R-A-M-I-E.

0:13:14.126,0:13:16.983
There is nettle, or there is lotus fiber,

0:13:17.161,0:13:22.679
banana fiber, or pineapple leaf fiber,

0:13:22.877,0:13:24.862
so there are all of these different sorts

0:13:24.862,0:13:28.141
of natural fibers that are localized

0:13:28.141,0:13:29.578
to different regions.

0:13:29.578,0:13:32.733
We can start to learn about

0:13:34.117,0:13:35.619
and support wherever we can.

0:13:35.619,0:13:38.018
Usually artisan made clothes might

0:13:38.304,0:13:40.706
have more of these options, as opposed

0:13:40.930,0:13:43.364
to mainstream, mass produced,

0:13:43.364,0:13:46.760
even eco-fashion brands, for example.

0:13:46.949,0:13:49.973
So this is something to keep in the [br]back of our minds,

0:13:49.973,0:13:52.150
how we can help to diversify

0:13:52.150,0:13:54.861
the fibers that are used within fashion.

0:13:55.101,0:13:57.739
Finally, my tenth tip is to support

0:13:57.739,0:14:01.179
localized regenerative textile systems.

0:14:01.387,0:14:04.187
This is definitely the hardest one,

0:14:04.404,0:14:07.077
I would say, out of everything that I [br]just mentioned,

0:14:07.077,0:14:10.258
because of the lack of localized

0:14:10.258,0:14:12.453
textile systems that we have right now.

0:14:12.453,0:14:14.591
But I really recommend Fibershed,

0:14:14.826,0:14:16.456
the nonprofit that is spearheading

0:14:16.456,0:14:18.985
this movement in creating localized

0:14:19.180,0:14:21.012
textile systems around the globe.

0:14:22.169,0:14:24.427
You should definitely go check them out

0:14:24.427,0:14:26.175
and learn more directly from them

0:14:26.404,0:14:28.209
at fibershed.org.

0:14:28.406,0:14:31.609
Basically, what this is about, is [br]right now,

0:14:31.609,0:14:34.941
even a lot of eco fashion brands

0:14:34.941,0:14:36.710
have globalized supply chains

0:14:36.710,0:14:38.479
where their organic cotton might

0:14:38.703,0:14:40.478
come from India and then that

0:14:40.478,0:14:42.190
might be sent to another country

0:14:42.190,0:14:43.776
to be made and then sent all over

0:14:43.776,0:14:45.937
all over the place, so just think about,

0:14:46.142,0:14:48.043
in food, we talk about food miles.

0:14:48.221,0:14:50.320
It is the same thing with clothes as [br]well.

0:14:50.406,0:14:51.964
There are your fashion miles

0:14:51.964,0:14:53.979
of how far all of these raw

0:14:53.979,0:14:55.975
materials had to travel back and [br]forth

0:14:55.975,0:14:58.858
in order to then end up at the store,

0:14:58.858,0:15:01.041
and then end up with the consumer.

0:15:01.699,0:15:04.752
The idea and the goal of localized

0:15:04.788,0:15:06.898
and regenerative textile systems

0:15:06.898,0:15:09.515
is for us to really regionalize

0:15:09.658,0:15:12.523
where our clothes are grown and made,

0:15:12.523,0:15:16.154
so that we can minimize those [br]fashion miles.

0:15:16.402,0:15:19.073
Then, on the regenerative side,

0:15:19.073,0:15:20.736
if we are able to regenerate

0:15:20.736,0:15:22.720
healthy soils through carbon

0:15:22.898,0:15:25.500
farming and regenarative practices,

0:15:25.697,0:15:28.496
that can actually help us to [br]sequester carbon.

0:15:28.496,0:15:32.405
So ideally, when you combine the two

0:15:32.567,0:15:34.613
of localizing and having regenerative

0:15:34.825,0:15:36.701
agriculture involved in this process,

0:15:36.701,0:15:40.911
we can actually do good by purchasing new,

0:15:41.074,0:15:44.142
regeneratively made clothes,

0:15:44.142,0:15:45.924
because we would be helping to

0:15:45.924,0:15:47.707
sequester more carbon

0:15:47.873,0:15:49.675
than was emitted throughout this

0:15:49.675,0:15:51.478
production process.

0:15:51.529,0:15:53.566
So that is certainly the most difficult

0:15:53.566,0:15:55.160
because it is not so widely

0:15:55.160,0:15:56.274
available right now,

0:15:56.274,0:15:58.063
but something that is being [br]developed

0:15:58.078,0:15:59.751
and spearheaded by Fibershed.

0:15:59.921,0:16:01.720
It is super exciting.

0:16:01.868,0:16:04.757
Rebecca Burgess is the founder[br]and director.

0:16:04.956,0:16:06.535
She wrote a book on this.

0:16:06.535,0:16:08.525
It is called Fiber Shed.

0:16:08.525,0:16:10.132
Definitely, I recommend checking

0:16:10.132,0:16:11.135
that out as well.

0:16:11.167,0:16:13.255
It is very inspiring to see the future

0:16:13.255,0:16:14.939
of what could be for fashion

0:16:14.939,0:16:17.010
and what that would look like

0:16:17.010,0:16:18.821
when we can actually be doing good

0:16:18.821,0:16:22.725
with fashion, rather than just trying [br]to do less bad.

0:16:22.744,0:16:24.310
These are my 10 tips on how we

0:16:24.310,0:16:25.876
can be more eco friendly

0:16:25.942,0:16:28.361
and regenerative with our fashion choices.

0:16:28.529,0:16:30.837
I will try to have some additional

0:16:30.837,0:16:33.076
resources linked in the description,

0:16:33.076,0:16:35.512
so certainly, you can do

0:16:35.512,0:16:37.021
more research on your own

0:16:37.021,0:16:40.138
and learn more from here on out.

0:16:40.138,0:16:41.776
But I hope this has been helpful.

0:16:41.806,0:16:44.131
Thank you so much for hearing me out.

0:16:44.131,0:16:46.305
I hope that you got a lot out of this[br]video.

0:16:46.305,0:16:48.123
If you did, that you will impliment

0:16:48.123,0:16:49.881
some of these tips into your life.
