    4 Reasons Why Sustainable Travel is a Must for Ethical Living

    Talking about ethics in travel is a risky road. Doesn’t travelling generally exploit culture, commodify ancient monuments, and cause even more environmental damage?

    • A huge thank you to @stridestore_ for my culottes, ethically made from remnant (deadstock) fabric πŸ‚ β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β € A huge part of sustainable clothing for me is RE-WEARING. Loved clothes last. I'd always recommend choosing pieces that you will LOVE and re-wear until they can't be worn anymore. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β € These culottes are such a simple essential for me – I've already worn them to work, twice! β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β € Go and add @stridestore_ to your go-to list of ethical online stores. They stock over 75 Australian ethical clothing brands and have free shipping + free returns. Their founder, Jordan, has even snuck in 20% off for all of you (use MOLLY-20 when you need something new) πŸ™Œ β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β € #proudlypartnered #MFARAIpartner #lovedclotheslast
    • Safe to say I've found my new favourite reusables! Bamboo x cotton rounds by @netzerocompany. Plus the little narwhal (unicorn whale) travel pouch brings me all the happiness (I keep it hanging on my bathroom counter – can you spot it two posts ago?). I have some regular old cotton ones too but they need a good soaking before I can get them back to a safe-face-condition. Highly recommend these ones if you're looking for an alternative to disposables. Give me all of your reusable bathroom recommendations, please!! Golden and gifted by @netzerocompany ✨#reusable
    • Okay I've been wearing this dress so much lately so let's talk fabric 🧡 β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β € Fabric – How it's made Where it's sourced What it's made from – has A LOT to do with the sustainability of a garment. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β € My preference over the past few years has leant me towards cotton, linen, hemp, and tencel. They're my favourites because they're natural and biodegradable, and are not made from animals. If I can, I go for organic options because organic fabrics aren't made with chemicals that harm me, other people, or the earth. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β € But I've got a new fabric in town! This gifted dress is made from mostly ramie and a little bit of cotton. Some fun facts: - Ramie comes from the nettle family - It was used in ancient Egypt and in Europe during the Middle Ages - It's stronger than flax, cotton, or wool β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β € From what I understand, ramie in itself is pretty sustainable but – you guessed it – there's a bit more to the sustainability of a garment than simply its fabric. That's a story for another time. Stay tuned for an educational series of articles in the coming months! πŸ’š β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β € 🧢 Dress gifted from @belkazan
    • Knitted from recycled bottles, ready to be cherished for life. Honour all your clothes as if a friend made them for you. In doing so, we honour the maker πŸ‚ β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β € Bag gifted from @ecollection.au πŸ’š β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β € #proudlypartnered #MFARAIpartner
    • I've got my bags and I'm ready to go... headfirst into 2020! Let's do this πŸ’ͺ🏼 #bethechange Green number gifted from @ecollection.au – made from 16 recycled plastic bottles and leaving no offcuts. This is the year we turn the tide on the industries harming people and our planet. Every action, every purchase, every promotion matters. Do good, support good – we've got this in the bag πŸ˜‰
    • How is everyone going making conscious purchases this giving season (and over Black Friday weekend)?! I’m still just finding it unbelievable how much Australian businesses have adopted black friday – even over the past 2 to 3 years! β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β € Me? I made the most of some sales and bought some 'home stuff' that I needed anyway – and presents that my family requested for Christmas anyway (thank y o u, sales πŸ˜‰). Not a single wasted dollar here! β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β € 🧢 Wearing the @belkazan Ramona Dress from their new Fall collection. If you haven't heard of them, BEL KAZAN is an L.A. brand made ethically and sustainability in Bali. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β € Their pieces are soooo gorgeous – I think I'll have to write a blog post about this one. In the meantime check out their policies and their batik and screen printed designs – if anything jumps out at you, use MOLLY20 for 20% off. Shop consciously, friends! 😘 #proudlypartnered
