They are so many solution to be sustainable. For exemple, it is easy to source trash because it is everywhere.
Going slowly but be sure that everything in your company is according to your values.
The quality is very important, every product created should stay forever if we really want to be sustainable.
People are not patient enough because it will take so much time, we talk about fashion but it is link with so much more than that. It is link to politics, to sociale decision, to the localisation and your market, to the packaging, the way you sheep your clothes and the way you are consuming fashion. The biggest issue is that everything is linked if you change one thing you will affect all the others things.
Less talking, more action. We need to see action.
