I love this post from @thetwigstore I think a lot about the negative consequences of #fastfashion and the benefits of #minimalism and #consciousconsumerism when it comes to our closets. DO YOU KNOW WHAT A CAPSULE WARDROBE IS? It is a small selection of clothing pieces that complement each other. These are often classic pieces that do not go out of style and are primarily composed of neutral colours. A capsule wardrobe allows you to create a variety of different outfit...s with a small selection of clothing items. WHY MAKE THE TRANSITION TO A CAPSULE WARDROBE? Here are some great reasons: SAVES ENERGY - The more clothes you have in your closet the harder it is to decide what to wear. When you scale back your wardrobe to curated pieces that you love, outfit picking becomes easy. SAVES MONEY - Buying clothing is a quick process and you won’t waste time and money shopping impulsively. You are not wasting your money on cheap or trendy clothing, known as fast fashion, that won't last and ends in the landfills. You are intentional about every item you purchase because you are going to wear it frequently! MORE SUSTAINABLE - A capsule wardrobe promotes slow fashion because it doesn't rely on the latest trends. It reduces your carbon footprint because you are only buying what you need & love and not discarding pieces that you bought on a whim and never really liked to wear. Since you are buying fewer clothing items you can be more intentional about where the clothes you buy are made and the types of fabric used. A capsule wardrobe is a great way to bring minimalism and sustainability to your life! You can release yourself from the distractions of changing trends and over-consumption and allow yourself more energy, time, money and contentment with less. If you are looking for more info on how to create a wardrobe capsule and where to begin, there are some great resources online, but @theminimalistwardrobe is a great place to start! @thetwigstore See more

Today, March 21st, is the International Day of Forests - an opportunity to celebrate all types of forests, recognize everything that trees and forests do for us, and take action to protect them. At joywrap, we don’t just save trees by offering an alternative to traditional wrapping paper, we also plant a tree for each piece of joywrap we sell. Forests and trees provide us with so many benefits. From cleaning the air we breathe to filtering the water we drink, shading and she...ltering us from harmful UV rays and the UHI (Urban Heat Island) effect, creating sustainable income, providing nutritious food, reducing stress, improving our health and sequestering carbon in their roots, trunks, and leaves. The #InternationalDayofForests theme for 2021 is Forest restoration: a path to recovery and well-being.

Today is #GlobalRecylingDay and a good opportunity assess how we think about and engage with recycling. Although recycling is an amazing asset, it is a waste stream in itself. In terms of gift wrap and greeting cards, recyclable options (like kraft paper without glitter) are defintely better alternatives to straight up landfill, but still wasteful in the end. It’s important to consider because it’s estimated that Canadians generate approximately 31 million tonnes of garbage ...per year and tht means more garbage per capita than any other country on earth. It also means that the average Canadian is responsible for generating approximately 2.7 kg of garbage every single day - creating a substantial impact on environmental issues such as landfills, energy conservation, contamination and the diminishing of resources. Next time you shop, consider a few things. #reduce. Do you really need it? #reuse Can the item or it’s packaging be reused? #repurpose Can it be #upcycled into something else when you’re done with it? In the end, will it end up in landfill or can it be #recycled? If recycled, consider these tips.
