Eco Friendly Shopping, A Trustworthy 7-step Guide
7 things to look for in your eco-friendly shopping: - Is the product likely to have a long life-cycle in its own right, to lengthen the time before it needs updating? If it’s “eco-friendly” yet needs replacing soon, what’s the point? - Is the impact on the planet minimal in production of the item? Take into account the total manufacturing cycle; the majority of modern items have a substantial amount of steps required. - Do you truly need this? The first place to cut is definitely the stuff you don’t need to buy to begin with. Maybe this process sounds radical, however it ties back to the first point. - The packaging-is it either re-useable or recyclable? Smart manufacturers know to package so that the packaging itself is useful, or perhaps simply just goes in the recycling bin to produce fresh packages or containers. - How about delivery-is it direct to you? An amazing amount of resource is wasted within the traditional retail distribution cycle and a surprising volume of product is simply just discarded during that cycle. Selecting direct shipping cut down on this waste in a really direct manner. - Does this product itself have an eco-friendly impact? So what do I mean by that? As an example, GeboMana T-shirts help educate people on how one can be more eco-friendly by caring for his or her natural environment, and several other producers give direct from their own revenues to aid the environment or education. Take a look. - At the end is it possible to re-purpose or recycle the product? Not every product is a good candidate for repurpose or recycling, but many are. Almost every product will come to an end of its useful lifecycle, and it’s time to either re-purpose or dispose of. That’s precisely why all GeboMana T-shirt is constucted from 100% natural organic cotton, with out mixture of other fibers. Don't forget when you go on your eco-friendly shopping spree that the above is a perfect list-and many producers and brands (like us) are still working towards many of these goals. However as consumers we can all do our part. Keep in mind that through your choice of shopping you’re driving a clear signal to the brands on the market about your thoughts about eco-friendly shopping. But in the end don't forget this: It still needs to be fun! All of us at GeboMana believe environmentally friendly fashion can be just as fashionable as any other kind of fashion. So when you go out in style, be sure you go out in eco style. If you have any opinions on our environmental policies or impact, please let me know directly - send me an email.
