Step 7: Invest in timeless autumn/winter clothes
Warm jumpers and a good jacket are an absolute must this season. But don't be tempted to only buy for this season. Invest in timeless pieces that will last you the many autumns and winters to come! 🧥🧣
And that is just one aspect of the huge environmental impact of cotton. The @WWF says the amount of water needed to produce one kilogram of cotton is equivalent to a single t-shirt and pair of jeans. Do you think it is worth it? Or are there better, more #sustainable options?
As part of our Plastics Pledge, we're calling on other businesses and the UK Government to ensure transparency in reporting on plastic packaging use.
Consumers have a right to know the entire plastic packaging footprint of big businesses.
