As Christians, we are called to care for our planet & its people. Therefore, when we buy our clothes we need to consider where they have been made, who they have been made by and what materials have been used to make them!
By avoiding fast fashion you avoid companies that treat their workers unethically, have dangerous working environments, have increased CO2 emissions, use materials containing plastic and burn unsold clothes
The most sustainable clothing items are the ones you already own! But if you want to buy something new here are our top 8 sustainable fashion companies for students!
