It is possible to be sustainable and stylish in business casual clothing! Here are 11 eco-conscious places to shop for work.
Have you heard of the #zerowaste movement, where people limit their trash so much to be able to fit an entire year of trash in just one little mason jar ? It’s a nice thought, but I’d really have to go out of my way to be able to achieve such little waste. I can’t realistically take on that challenge. A more realistic challenge is Plastic-Free July. “Plastic Free July” is another movement in the world of eco-friendly to limit the use of single use plastic for the month of July. I can happily say that with little effort, I was successful, mostly because Amazon Prime has some amazing eco-friendly substitutes for single use plastic that can be shipped to your doorstep in just 2 days. Now that we’re stocked it’ll be plastic free July every month from this point forward.
