August: National Wellness Month
Posted on August 02 2021
Wellness is multifaceted and important for us all and the planet.
-Personal Wellness: Select clothing that is made thoughtfully. The clothes on our bodies should be natural and healthy. That is why we select/curate clothing with the most earth-friendly fabric content; ensuring that there are no harsh chemicals that touch our skin.
-Earth Wellness: Select brands that are strict about sustainability and healthy for our planet. It is imperative that the garment making process minimizes environmental impacts while conserving natural resources and energy.
-Worker Wellness: Select brands that protect workers. Equally important is the wellness of all workers, like garment workers who are crucial to the garment making process. This means paying fair and ethical wages, having clean and safe working conditions and protecting local communities.
-Community Wellness: Thankfully, for a concerned community, there is collaboration and partnership which results in successful sustainability programs like recycling, composting, community farming, as well as the continuation of centuries old community traditions of artisanship.
