Today is a great day to work on your sustainability habits! Every day we have opportunities to live more sustainably in our environment. Think twice before shopping. Do you really need that item? Let's ditch plastic and switch to reusable materials. Are you already shopping for the holidays? Consider simplifying the holidays and buying less. Choose organic. Your body will thank you! Ditch fast fashion and animal-based textiles. We have so much more than we need. Be water wise. Check your toilet for leaks. Take shorter showers. Try water-saving shower heads or flow restrictors. Turn off the water while brushing your teeth and while shaving. And finally, drive less, and drive green. #sustainabilitymatters #drivegreen #conservewater #ditchfastfashion

Having seen many #WorldEnvironmentDay posts, I reflected on small lifestyle changes I made in my life to contribute to the environment each and every day! These seemingly insignificant changes can create a significant impact around us: 🏅 Turn off the tap while brushing teeth or doing laundry/dishes to minimize water wastage. Also, limit shower time. 🏅 Switch off lights, fans, and ACs when not in use. Set the AC temperature ideally around 26-28 degrees Celsius to reduce power consumption. 🏅 Join the "Wrinkles Ache Hain" movement to normalize wearing un-ironed clothes to work every Monday. By making this simple change, we can collectively reduce our carbon footprint, as ironing clothes releases 200 grams of carbon into our atmosphere each time! Energy Swaraj Foundation 🏅 Segregate household waste into biodegradable and non-biodegradable bins. Organic waste (like fruit and vegetable peels) can be easily converted into compost by placing them in a pot and covering with soil. 🏅 Limit the use of single-use plastics; always carry a jute or cotton bag when shopping. Avoid asking for cutlery when ordering food online. 🏅 Avoid skincare or makeup products containing microbeads, which are part of microplastics. Microbeads are commonly found in face/body scrubs, toothpaste, soaps, and shampoos. 🏅 Consider avoiding fast fashion by choosing sustainable and long-lasting clothing options. In conclusion, while we are all aware of the importance of the points mentioned above, it is easy to forget their significance in our daily lives. However, it is crucial that we not only adapt these principles into our lifestyles but also strive to raise awareness among others. As members of #GenerationRestoration, it is our duty to protect and restore our environment for the benefit of current and future generations! 🙌🌏💚 #WorldEnvironmentDay #Sustainability #EcoFriendly #UNEP #SaveThePlanet #WaterConservation #EnergyEfficiency #ZeroWaste #PlasticFree #SustainableFashion #GenerationRestoration #ClimateAction #GreenLiving

👕 The Environmental Impact of Clothing: Use/Launder 💦 Did you know that 23% of a garment's carbon footprint occurs during its use phase? In fact "use" is the second biggest driver of environmental impact in the lifecycle of clothing. 🌎 So, what can we, as individuals, do to reduce our clothing's carbon footprint? 1️⃣ Dial down the temperature: Up to 60% of GHG emissions from laundry come from heating the water in our washing machines. Dialing down the temperature by just a few degrees can dramatically reduce energy waste, and many modern detergents are just as effective in colder water. 2️⃣ Wash full loads: Washing full loads of laundry maximizes efficiency and reduces water and energy consumption per garment. 3️⃣ Wash less often: Instead, air out your clothes to refresh and spot treat stains when they happen. Not only will less frequent washing reduce the impacts of laundering, but you will be able to keep your clothes longer, as the process of washing more quickly degrades materials. 4️⃣ Use less detergent: Using less detergent helps minimize water pollution and reduces the need for packaging, lowering environmental impact. Opt for detergents that are biodegradable and free of harmful chemicals to minimize environmental impact during washing and after discharge into waterways. 5️⃣ Avoid fabric softeners and fragrances: Not only do these introduce harmful chemicals into waste water, but also irritate sensitive skin, leave a layer of reduce on your clothes, and reduce the absorption of your towels and activewear, locking-in mildew and odors in both your clothes and your machine. 6️⃣ Protect your garments: Look for care labels and know what the symbols mean. Turn your clothes inside-out before washing to protect against snags, pills, and colorfade. 7️⃣ Air dry when possible: Line-drying or air-drying clothes instead of using a dryer can reduce climate impact by 67%. While my LinkedIn network consists primarily of those in careers aimed at reducing industry impact on our planet, it's essential to consider what we can do in our daily lives. Whether our careers have a direct impact or not, every action counts in the fight against climate change. I encourage you to not only take these steps in your lives, but to raise awareness across your networks outside of LinkedIn. #Sustainability #ClimateAction #FashionIndustry #EnvironmentalImpact #ReduceReuseRecycle #LittleActionsToSaveThePlanet

🌿 Did you know? Traditional dry cleaning is on the decline, and for good reason! Most conventional dry cleaners use harmful solvents like perchloroethylene (PERC), which are not only bad for our health but also for the environment. 🌍 ❌ The Bad Side of Traditional Dry Cleaning: • Toxic Chemicals: PERC is a known carcinogen and can cause respiratory issues and other health problems. • Environmental Impact: These chemicals often end up in our water systems and soil, causing long-term damage. • Bans: Many countries and states are starting to ban or heavily regulate the use of PERC. For instance, California plans to phase out PERC by the end of 2024. 🔄 The Rise of Eco-Friendly Alternatives: • Wet Cleaning: An innovative and eco-friendly method that uses biodegradable detergents and water to clean clothes effectively. • Biodegradable Detergents: Businesses like Tricky’s use only biodegradable detergents, ensuring clothes are cleaned without harming the environment. 🌱 👗 Fast Fashion & the Preloved Market: • The preloved market is booming, driven by a desire for sustainability and unique fashion finds. • People want to extend the life of their clothes, making proper cleaning essential. • Refreshed clothes last longer, saving money and reducing waste. • Selling preloved items?

5 Small Ways You Can Be More Sustainable 🌱 Ditch fast fashion: it’s time to quit over-consumption. We know it. You know it. But fashion can still be fun!

Happy New Year's Eve!!  If you were a happy recipient of a gift card to use up during the new year, think sustainable. When you are shopping for fabric-based goods choose sustainable fibers such as organic cotton, linen, bamboo, hemp, and silk. Sustainable clothing is the result of using eco-friendly resources, like sustainably grown fiber crops, recycled materials, and ethical sustainable labor. The manufacturing of the materials will also just how sustainable the clothing or soft goods are. After all, materials are what most determine the environmental impact of our clothes, directly contributing to the consumption of water, microplastic pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, soil degradation (depending on crops), and finally landfill waste due to fast fashion on disposable nature or short-term life of many products. If your soft goods are sourced and processed in an eco-friendly way and have potential beyond their purchased function as clothing, bedding, towels, etc. then they pass the hurdle and can be considered a sustainable choice. By choosing eco-friendly fabrics to start, you will be taking a big step toward a more sustainable wardrobe for you and your home. #thesustainableorganizer #professionalorganizer #professionalorganizing #sustainable #climatechange #sustainableorganizer #sustainability #sustainableliving #sustainablelifestyle #sustainablehome #sustainablelife
