When we think of eco-friendly events, probably the clothes you wear are not at the top of the list. But even in this area you can make choices that are better or worse for the environment. While venue, transportation, and food probably have a bigger impact, if this is an area where you would like to make a difference, here are some ideas:
- Instead of buying entirely new clothes, try rented, borrowed, or vintage outfits.
- Wear clothes made of organic fabrics.
- If you buy clothes you think you won’t wear again, minimize their impact by donating them somewhere they will be worn.
- If you’re wearing dry clean-only clothes, find a wet cleaner or a CO2 cleaner.
These are just a few ideas for greening your event apparel–or your everyday wear.
