An Ode to My Former Wardrobe

By -

14 months ago I hopped on a plane (or two) to sunny New Zealand, leaving most of my wardrobe behind. I packed my favourite items into my backpack and off I went. Not long after starting my trip I declared that I would try not to purchase any new clothes for a whole year to keep my wardrobe sustainable (and it went pretty well ). After 14 months of wearing the same pieces, I have to admit I am getting quite bored. Most of my capsule wardrobe consists of 3 colours: black, white, rusty orange so it's fairly easy to mix and match my pieces but I am longing for some change, particularly as my style continues to evolve.  I miss my pink cords, my favourite blue denim jeans that I wore constantly.

What's in My Clothes? So what is in our clothes? Many clothes today are made from plastic based fibres, including plyester, nylon and acrylic. When we wash our clothes microfibers are released and end up in our water systems and in the sea. As well as this, there's also lots of harmful chemicals that go into our clothes, particularly in the dying and finishing processes. These chemicals are harmful for garment wor

Will Veganism Solve the Climate Crisis?

By -

With the recent fires that have taken over the Amazon, I have seen lots of people preaching that the best way to save it, is to stop eating meat, particularly beef. Some individuals even go to the extreme of stating that veganism will solve the climate crisis.  Whilst the primary causes of deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest are for cattle grazing and soy production to feed cows for beef and dairy production, this does not necessarily mean that veganism does not come with environmental problems of its own, including those linked to deforestation. In this post I am going to look at whether swapping to a vegan diet will actually benefit the planet and consider the problems that come with it.  How Veganism Can Help Battle the Climate Crisis It is common knowledge that the meat and dairy industry is damaging the environment in the following ways:  Deforestation - Livestock is the worlds largest user of land resources. Since 1990, Brazil has lost an area of forest
