How to...be more sustainable

1 DO YOUR RESEARCH Knowing where to shop is key. Check-in on your favourite stores and see what sustainable practices they are adopting, and what materials are being used. 'Focus on natural fibres like 100% organic cotton, especially GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified where possible because a GOTS label means you can be sure that it has achieved strict criteria for social and ecological compliance. So better for the environment, the workers and you!' says Kate Tailyour, head of designs at Nomads Clothing, an ethical and sustainable fashion brand.
