Get fashionable with merino wool and recycled plastic
If you’re able, splurge on Allbirds. Billed as the world’s most comfortable shoes, they are made of wool, recycled plastic bottles and castor bean oil. Rothy’s claims to put the planet and people first with its signature thread spun from repurposed water bottles.
In the market for a new bag or other accessories traditionally made from leather? You’ll want to check out Matt & Nat, a Canadian company that puts sustainability first and makes all their products out of vegan materials. The materials they use to make bags, shoes and clothes range from polyurethane (a biodegradable material) to recycled windshield glass resin, and even fruit skin fibers. The lining for every bag is made from 100-percent recycled plastic bottles (about 21 plastic bottles are recycled for every bag they produce).
We can’t save the Earth all on our own, but we can vote with our wallets and feel good about making the best buying decisions possible to leave the planet in better shape and with a more stable climate for our children.
