Holistic Sustainability from the perspective of the Individual
Every product you wear has an impact - what materials it’s made from and the dyes which are used, who makes it and how they’re treated, and what happens to the materials at the end of product’s life. In order to Live Sustainability, you need to make your negative impacts as small as possible and at the same time try to make your positive impacts as large as possible - mitigate the negative and accelerate the positive.
