Green Is In: 10 Eco-friendly, Everyday Items For You And The Planet

November 4, 2021

Have you heard of the 2030 climate deadline? Basically, it warns us of a world damaged beyond repair by global warming and greenhouse emissions. That if we don’t change our ways, we will be doomed to live in this future. 

Unsurprisingly, one of the main culprits of this climate crisis is none other than the fashion industry. With unethical mass-production practices being the norm, you’re most likely sporting an #OOTD right now that’s done massive damage to the environment.

Overwhelming as it may sound, there’s still hope for the planet (and your wardrobe!). It’s never too late to make better, more sustainable fashion choices, and we at Primer Group of Companies, have teamed up with some of the cleanest, greenest fashion brands so that everyone can sport chic, cool, and clean fits.

 

Here is a list of sustainable items that you can swap for your everyday go-tos:
 

Bags

for days when you are on-the-go!
