Transitioning to a more sustainable lifestyle doesn't have to be rocket science. Here are a few small ways that you can make a big difference to the environment.
Recycle your clothes
This is a big one. On average, we each throw eight of our clothes items in the bin every year - that’s almost £500 worth3. And we all know what happens to our previously beloved clothing after that. It gets dumped on the top of an already very tall landfill pile, and (slowly but surely) decomposes to release toxic greenhouse gases into the environment. Landfills are the third biggest source of atmospheric methane on the planet, and so are major contributors to the climate crisis4.
We know the feeling. It’s lockdown 3. Motivation levels are low, the days are short, dark and depressing, and a 5km run in the pouring rain is probably the last thing you want to be doing. Everyone definitely feels the same, but it’s still really important to stay healthy during lockdown and, despite what you might think, this doesn’t have to involve running marathons or drinking broccoli and carrot smoothies.
Have you noticed the sound of the birds as you wake up? If you walk in the countryside do you see the butterflies taking their first flight of spring?

Some may say the world has gone mad, but in times like these when the whole world is unsure of the future, unsure of their own future and their loved ones future, an opportunity to reflect on our lives in the present has arisen. Being present in your life and not worrying about what has been and what will be in the future is difficult, however it is necessary. Growing mental health issues show that more people should try to live in the now to stop anxiety, and especially at times like these. We usually look to ones in power of what to do in times of crisis, society as we know it has taught us that. The message so far...
Twenty-Twenty is the year we are shifting into an awakened state, and becoming connected to nature again. The climate crisis is finally getting the headline news it deserves and people all over the world are making more conscious decisions to change the course of nature. As a brand it is our duty to step in line with this conscious state which is why we're making big changes to our new range. But there are a few things we like to keep the same because we know how much you love our collection already. As usual we are limiting our colour palette so it transfers through the seasons. This is an important part of our collection so that pieces are interchangeable...
