Statistics show that how we are consuming, maintaining, and discarding our clothing has a devastating effect on the planet. Every part of the cycle has problems, and they won't be fixed overnight, so what can we actually do to make a difference? Sophie Benson, a journalist specialising in sustainable fashion, breaks down the problem and explains how we can mitigate it, from the clothes we purchase to the way we care for them to how we dispose of them. With easy tutorials to follow (how to read a label and have a conscious closet clear-out; upcycling hacks; how to darn socks; and how to care for your jeans), Benson shows how small changes can result in a more sustainable, eco-friendly wardrobe without breaking the bank.
