STAR steps to Responsible Consumption for Fashion Lovers

Hi

Did you include the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal 12: responsible consumption and production in your new year resolution?

I come up with this four STAR steps for fashion lovers to start their sustainable journey:

1. choose STYLE, not trend. Start by reviewing your closet regularly to discover your unique style. This will help make purchase decisions by rationality rather than impulse. And styles are forever.

2. TEACH yourself about sustainability: define what sustainability means to you. It could be choosing natural fabric over synthetic fabric. Grow your own knowledge base and refuse to be green washed.

3. ADVOCATE sustainability: talk about it with friends and family, support your community’s sustainability initiatives, plant seeds and develop habits of sustainability. More awareness generates more participation. More participation brings bigger impact.

4. REUSE, REPURPOSE, and RECYCLE at the product’s life end. Be creative, give it a second chance before it rests in landfill.

I hope you find these steps inspirational on your sustainability journey.
