I’ve been even more conscious about what I consume since going car-free 10 years ago. Whether it’s shopping second-hand, grocery shopping with a reusable tote, or refilling my glass water bottle, every small action makes a big difference.
It’s hard to believe that in 2014 I was a fashion blogger packing up my house in Traverse City to move to New York. Mindlessly purchasing and filling my closet, I used to have FOMO about staying on top of the latest styles. Back then, I didn’t think about the environmental impacts of everything I had collected over the years.
I recently watched the Brandy Melville documentary on Max, which was even more shocking than I expected. Beaches and markets in Ghana are filled with wasted clothes from the US and Europe, leaving the country and people with our mess. It was heartbreaking.
Some people may wonder why I always wear the same variation of a black outfit- not only do I feel good in black, but my capsule wardrobe has been a direct response to the overconsumption in the United States. I sold and donated half of my wardrobe while living in NYC eight years ago, leaving me a lot lighter both on the inside and outside.
Trends come and go, but we only have one home- Mother Earth. Treat her well 🩵
Our planet is choking on plastic. It is time to change how we produce, consume and dispose of the plastic we use. Carrying a reusable bag while shopping is one among the many ways to ditch plastic. Visit https://www.unep.org/interactives/beat-plastic-pollution/ to know more.
Plastic bags are a threat to our environment because a single plastic bag takes up to 1000 years to decompose as it contains non-renewable petrochemicals. #Saynotoplasticbags #PlasticFreeJuly #saynotoplastic #noplastic #SayNoToSingleUsePlastic #praguntatwa #plasticfree #plasticfreeliving #plasticpollution https://t.co/GUeBJMrHfr https://www.instagram.com/p/CgXM2PZP5n5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Plastic might look harmless but every year millions of tons of plastic waste end up in landfills, rivers and oceans, wreaking havoc on our ecosystems. Whether it's plastic bags, straws, or packaging, our addiction to convenience is taking a toll on the health of our planet. But there is still hope. This Earth Day, let's commit to reducing single-use plastics, supporting recycling initiatives, and advocating for policies that promote a cleaner, healthier planet and reduce our plastic footprint significantly.
