The Ultimate Green Earth Guide

Fashion

Eco-fashion is still, I believe, in its infant stages.  I've struggled to find fashion that is earth conscious and meets all styles and tastes. There are a few labels out there, but the range is limited, and for fussy people like me, I prefer to do my bit by buying classic or unique pieces that won't date too quickly, giving them a longer lifespan.

The good news is, there are a few brands out there doing their best to use environmentally sensitive fabrics and responsible manufacturing and production techniques. The list is growing, so I guess we just have to be patient.

In the meantime, if you know of any great fashion labels that are fit to appear in EarthFirst, send them our way!

  • Soles 4 Souls

    Soles 4 Souls

    Soles4Souls® is a shoe charity that collects gently worn shoes and monies to provide shoes to those in need. Donating shoes to Soles4Souls shoe charity is a great way to recycle shoes. 

    Soles4Souls collects new shoes to give relief to the victims of abject suffering and collects used shoes to support micro-business efforts to eradicate poverty. Soles4Souls’ other two divisions, Clothes4Souls and Hope4Souls, provide the same relief and support through clothing and other necessities.
