How a Circular Lifestyle Helps Biodiversity Thrive

Natural design has always been part of the textile and clothing industries. Thousands of years ago we used the silkworm to produce silk in ancient China and the flax plant to create linen in ancient Greece. (1) What tied all of this together was biodiversity. From agriculture to forestry, raw material production for clothing relies on biodiversity for organism health, access to water and fertile soil. (2) The clothing industry doesn’t need a rethink. It just needs to return to its natural design to stay circular.

Mindful Giving

Friends, family and your wallet: the holiday trio that comes in a sudden flash this time of year and urges you to spend. Nothing could be better than your child, partner or friend’s delight from your gift. But nothing is worse than when the present they enjoyed so much at first is discarded after a single use. Cupboards full of holiday cheer, an attic decorated by boxes of paraphernalia, a wardrobe bursting with color, patterns and comfort: all never used.

How to Choose an Eco-friendly Activewear Wardrobe

Selecting more sustainable fitness essentials requires taking the time to understand how activewear is made and its performance characteristics. So let’s dive into the details for how we can buy activewear more mindfully, taking into consideration our environment and skincare.

Did you know you can make activewear from wood? In fact, you can make clothing fabric from lots of different raw materials, some of the most common ones being crude oil for synthetics or cotton.

Stretch your pants, Stretch your mind: What makes activewear stretchy?

Where there is activewear, there is stretch. It’s hard to think otherwise. Stretch provides support in compression products, overall comfort, freedom of movement and is necessary to achieve the skin-tight fit of certain sports clothes (leggings, bras, swimwear, to name a few).
