As if I had enough money for a second sustainable outfit
The prices on this things I swear :,(
That’s why thrift stores exist. Nothing more sustainable than buying used.
But if you buy used, you look cheap and not like someone with enough money to brand themselves as sustainable. /s
Tbh, >90% of the appeal of sustainable brands is that the person buying the product can look like someone who cares about the environment without actually having to reduce their consumption.
Overconsumption sounds like blaming individuals instead of industries again. If I buy cheap kitchen knifes with plastic handles because I’m poor, they last a few months and break. If I learn how to sharpen a good knife it can last a small family years before it is gone from sharpening. It’s like nobody teaches people these “miraculous skills” like sharpening and simple repairs anymore, while simultaneously allowing the cheapest garbage, designed to disintegrate into dust, to be sold to them. We don’t have enough resources to allow low quality crap to be produced, because it doesn’t matter if it’s bought, it’s already wasted.
