Just as we've become more conscious of where our food comes from, we can approach the fashion industry the same way. More and more of us want to know where our food comes from, who grew it, how was it grown, and are the animals treated ethically. The same principles can be applied to fashion. We are unbelievably disconnected to where our clothing comes. Somewhere, someone made that item, it was transported around the world to get to you and the resources needed were depleted. And just like the food industry, it has to make us smarter, more informed and more eco-friendly consumers. Do you think about where an item comes from and all that happens before it hits the store shelves, when you buy an item of clothing?

Everlane is all about transparency. This California based company spends months finding the best factories around the world—the very same ones that produce our favorite designer labels—and then they build strong personal relationships with factory owners to ensure their factory's integrity and to maintain ethical production practices at every step of the process. They believe customers have the right to know what their products cost to make and where they were made. They reveal their true costs and share the factory and production stories behind each piece of clothing.

Reformation offers on-trend pieces that will still be stylish well after the season is over. This LA-based brand creates products only from sustainable and upcycled materials in a fair wage environment. Reformation's dedication to sustainable production is extensively explained on their website, plus each item comes with a description of its environmental footprint. We especially love that they've added extended sizing to their permanent collection!

We can all do our part to create a more eco-friendly future for our children and their children, and sometimes a little thing can make a big difference. This product costs very little, but can make a big difference. Bee's Wrap Reusable Beeswax Food Wraps, are plastic-free food covers, as an alternative to Saran Wrap or Foil, which are both not good for the environment. These food wraps can be washed and reused - they are sustainable, zero waste, plastic-free alternatives for food storage. Do you use this product (or one similar) for food storage?
