When it comes to living the conscious life, buying new clothes isn’t exactly the kindest thing we can do for our planet. Every piece of new clothing (if not made sustainably) can be the product of countless chemicals, dyes, and the like, all of which can be harmful to the earth, air, groundwater – as well as the people making the clothing and even the people who try it on and then wear it. But clothes are something we all need and want, unless you’re living the truly au naturel life. And buying all fair-trade, eco-friendly, and/or organic clothing, which is of course better for people and the environment, can be expensive.
