In an era of fast fashion, the way we consume clothing has profound implications for both the environment and the people who produce our garments. As consumers, we are often swayed by the allure of cheap, trendy clothes, without fully considering the social and environmental costs that come with each purchase.

As environmental concerns grow, more companies are adopting sustainability as part of their brand image. We see terms like “eco-friendly,” “carbon neutral,” and “green” on everything from clothing to cleaning products. But how can you be sure these claims are real and not just marketing tactics? The European Union’s (EU) Green Claims Directive aims to help by protecting consumers from misleading environmental claims, also known as “greenwashing.” Let’s break down what this directive means for you as a consumer and how it will change the way companies communicate their environmental impact.
Help us to win 10.000€ to promote mindful clothing consumption. With your vote, we can spread sustainable habits further. We have been nominated by the E.ONs Foundation European Climate Fund. Now the public voting is open until 30th of September.
The voting has been closed. 9 projects have still the chance to win. Keep fingers crossed. Until end of october we will know more.
💚
