This made my life a bit easier . Rather than going gaga about high end brands, I search for natural fiber clothing in regular stores. That's going one step closer to sustainable lifestyle.

Going Local

One of the solution for being a part of this sustainable fashion movement and green living is going local #golocal .Always attend a local fair and flea markets in your town. During holiday season a lot are arranged, these days even in local farmers markets people are setting up thier stalls with their handmade items.To be more concious of what you are buying check if they are sourcing the raw materials or goods from local vendors and suppliers.If they are then the complete supply chain is local. In my view this is 100% green lifestyle product. Yesterday for the first time iRA Threads visited a local flea.
