Buying sustainably on a budget can be tough, but the upside is that if you invest in your clothing it will last. Although it might not seem like you are saving money in the short term, long term you will have to buy less clothing. There are also some more cost effective ways to obtain an ethically sourced wardrobe. Thrifting is a good option if you are on a budget and you have a little bit of time to find what you want. Another option is upcycling. If you have old clothing that doesn't fit right, learning how to adjust a hem, fix a zipper, or patch a hole is more cost effective than buying a new piece of clothing. Below are a couple of tutorials that can help you star to learn some simple ways to fix your clothing.
There are also other ways to live sustainably. Become aware of where your food, home decor, wellness, and beauty products come from. Use your resources to pick and choose to support sustainable companies. It may seem like a daunting task, but if you take it step by step you can live a more sustainable life.
