A stylish way to stay green and shop ethically is to avoid certain types of materials when looking for new clothes. The fashion industry is responsible for a whole host of ecological nightmares like microplastics, landfill waste and polluted wastewater. The top three to avoid: polyester, nylon and rayon. They are made from petroleum, aren't recyclable, contribute to microplastic waste in water and don't biodegrade. If you really want something like a fleece jacket, buy secondhand from a resale site or thrift shop.
