WHAT IS BLAEK STORE'S DEFINITION OF 'SUSTAINABLE' SHOPPING?

First of all the word sustainable is a hurdle for a lot of people we know, but it doesn't need to be. It's not scared of you so don't be scared of it! We think of sustainability through a retail lens as being able to go shopping without having a negative impact on our people or planet. It's positive and will be forever!

	Garment manufacturing accounts for 20% of global industrial water pollution
	The fashion industry is responsible for 20-30% of all micro plastics in the ocean
	Australians throw out 6,000 kgs of clothing every 10 minutes

HOW CAN YOU SHOP SUSTAINABLY?

Just like ditching that single-use, landfill-destined coffee cup for a reusable one -  start small. Start with swapping out your laundry detergent for one that's good for the planet and your skin, like Dirt. Stop buying chemical-filled soap that dries out your skin and swap that out for something beautiful and Australian-made like Church Farm. Then, while we're in your shower, let's ditch those ugly, plastic shampoo and conditioner bottles for some sustainable and deliciously smelling shampoo bars by Shampoo With A Purpose!

See how good it makes you feel, how easy it is and how much money it saves you? Start with these three and you will see how easy shopping sustainably actually is, and just how much money you can save with smart, conscious shopping.
