Being eco covers all areas in your life from what food you choose to buy, where you travel, how you get to work to the shirt on your back. If you want to spring clean your wardrobe to make it more eco-friendly, here are some tips:

1. Buy organic clothes, there are plenty of amazing eco-designs out there.
2. Don’t iron unnecessarily and try not to tumble dry unless you have to. A clothes horse will save you on your electricity bill and will save your clothes as tumble drying can often shrink and ruin delicates.
3. Only wash your clothes when they’re actually dirty. Underwear will need a wash after one use but does all your clothes?
4. Avoid clothes that will need dry cleaning as most dry-cleaners use a fluid called tetrachloroethylene, which causes long-term pollution if it escapes into the waterways. If you have to get it done, check what chemicals your dry-cleaner uses.
5. Invest in Fairtrade cotton clothes, which ensures that the cotton growers get a fair deal.
6. Give away the clothes that you don’t use.
7. Buy second hand – you’ll be recycling, getting a bargain, giving to charity if you buy from a charity shop and you can tell everyone that it’s vintage!
8. Buy fewer clothes but buy on quality. Well-made clothes will last longer and gives you a chance to splurge.
