HAPPY EARTH DAY/WEEK 🌻 . . . Mother earth has gone through many changes in her life time. We have made it to a point where there is too much damage to avoid blaming ourselves for it. It’s time for everyone to step up and make a difference. We have no choice but to be mindful about what we use, what we buy, who we buy from and how much we buy! The bee population still declines, landfills are growing each day and big companies still only care about their cash. There are some larger companies like @mountainroseherbs who do so much good and work For the health of the earth, only produce as much waste as a family of four and pay their employees more who bike to work! How cool is that?! And @patagonia who is always leading the way in reuse And mending of garments and motives of giving back to the earth. Patagonia and @eileenfisherny are the two big brands I know of who ever launched a natural dye line and @eileenfisherrenew is doing amazing things with old clothes of theirs and using methods like a felting machine to create new one of a kind pieces from worn out garments. These people and ideas will be the leaders of the fashion and earth revolution and I plan to stand right alongside them-somewhere we can all strive to be! . . . As a new small business I do my very very best to do everything I can to meet and exceed the standards of sustainability and zero waste. At Allysun we only use healing plant dyes. After exhausting the dye bath, the water is used to grow little seeds and flourish bigger flowers in the garden. Most dyes are even beneficial to the soil. Each garment is completely biodegradable as well as I go to lengths to use no elastic (which can also cause stomach issues) in anything-I design with drawstrings in mind. I also only use either thrifted vintage buttons or buttons made from natural materials like wood, coconut or bone. So once you and your children have loved, worn, and mended your @allysunwest healing garments, you can help heal the earth by returning them to the soil to assist in producing new growth. . . .
