In order for a clothing material to be used in a piece of clothing, considerable time is spent to extract these raw materials, process them into fabric, and patch them up as a garment. Hence, a material can be deemed sustainable if it contributes to reducing the environmental impacts during this life cycle. We introduce five fibers we can choose from that help make an item of clothing more sustainable.

Embrace the upcoming spring season by adding vibrant eye shadow colors to your makeup collection. Whether you're looking for cruelty-free options, recyclable packaging, or organic ingredients, these brands have got you covered. Get ready to add a pop of color to your spring makeup routine while making a positive impact on the planet.
