After just finishing the fantastic 'Green is the New Black' by Tamsin Blanchard, I have resolved to put my (somewhat depleted) buying power to good use. This book is for any woman who wants to give her wardrobe an ethical makeover, or for anyone who just isn't aware of how our shopping habits are devastating the planet. If Ms Blanchard should be reading this, I would like her to know that she has converted me.
Deep down, I think I've always known that £6 jeans and £12 coats have their dodgy side. Aside from the working conditions of the people who make them, they're so cheap it's just not worth getting a button repaired or a hem stitched. So they end up in landfill. Being a student, I know that sometimes, Primark and George at Asda are the finest we can afford.
But I'm determined to make a difference with my fashion choices, and maybe save some money in the process. Hopefully, with this blog I'll show others that it's much easier than you might think!
