Have you had enough of the Black Friday madness? Does it sicken you to your stomach the environmental impact of consumerism and packaging waste created in just one day? Make this Black Friday different.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We strongly believe in the importance of being aware of our carbon footprint, and taking care of our impact on the planet we live on. Black Friday is a day of crazy shopping discounts, spurring people on to spend and consume more. We are often no even aware of our consumer impacts on the environment, so step one to change is education. Step two is making conscious choices about where we spend our cash! Read below for 6 sustainable yoga clothing brands we recommend you can support this Black Friday (and always!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What even is Black Friday? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Black Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day. It was instigated in the US but now black friday is celebrated as a shopping day for reduced prices and crazy discounts, all around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our emails get flooded with promo emails for offers and temptations to get sucked into consumerism a month before christmas. It has a reputation of evoking violence and fist fights (especially in the US) with shops being over crowded and people fighting (physically) for the best deals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With shopping (and everything) being largely digitalised in a post-Covid world, so much shopping has moved online. As a result we can get overwhelmed by the marketing pounded at us through social media and our inboxes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens? Typically there is a \u2018frantic overbuying, impulse purchases and chaos\u2019! <\/em>We are led deep into consumerism, spending too much, causing a huge environmental impact with increased manufacturing, increased transport service and a shocking amount of waste. In 2020, Money.co.uk predicted that British Black Friday home deliveries would be responsible for 429,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions <\/a>(the equivalent of 435 return flights from London to New York). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What can we do about it? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well we are the consumers after all we can truly \u2018vote with our money\u2019 or \u2018put our money where our mouth is\u2019. We CAN make a difference by making a choice about how and what we spend on. We can do this every day but it is even more important to be aware of this around Black Friday. This Black Friday we can choose to discover more sustainable, green companies. We can choose to opt out panic and impulse buying, and not get sucked into the irresistible deals for things we never needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have selected six sustainable yoga clothing brands that care about their environmental impact. Ok some of them are not \u2018strictly\u2019 yoga clothes, but they are all strictly sustainable and UK based<\/strong> to avoid increasing our carbon footprint with transport services too. Make a choice to support these brands this black friday, and look out for other companies with a good environmental ethos. If it is food brands then look for products that are plant-based, organic, and local. If it is tech then choose something energy efficient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Tip: Often if a brand is genuinely sustainable they will list it in their values and impact section on their website. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other ways to be sustainable with your yoga clothes:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having said all of that… the BEST way to be sustainable is to avoid buying new!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest problems we have is the culture of necessity to buy new all the time. What happens with the old clothes? They end up as waste! This waste of material has a huge environment impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kat’s (founder of Movement for Modern Life) suggestion is to change the culture around buying new. Find ways to preserve clothes, buy second hand, trade with friends, or go to a local charity shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
