Data scientists confirm that environmental sustainability is on the rise. With terms like eco-friendly, recycling, composting, and sustainability soaring among consumers, the green movement has also made its way into the fashion and beauty industries.
Plastic waste, over-production, pollution from non-local production, and emissions from related industries (like factory farming, which yields leather), leaves an irreversible eco-footprint on the planet. But consumers have proven that they are willing to spend more in order to shop from brands whose planet-friendly values align with their own.
In an effort to help brands offset their environmental impact, the global non-profit 1% for the Planet has helped 1,800 brands pledge to give 1% of their profits to environmental conservation groups since 2002. “The intent of 1% for the Planet is to help fund these diverse environmental organizations so that, collectively, they can be a more powerful source in solving the world’s problems,” writes co-founder Yvon Chouinard in his book, Let My People Go Surfing.
Here are 10 beauty and fashion buys to shop from brands that give back to the planet.
