No more tabloids or trashy magazines. It was one of the changes Vanessa Farquharson made in the 366 days that she attempted to greenify her life. There’s no denying it: one simple way to keep your fashion obsession eco-friendly is to cut out magazines. At least, the print ones. Needless to say, all those trees being killed and print chemicals being used to deliver the monthly trends on fashion lovers’ doorstep are not so green.
In April 2012, Fashionista.com (bless them) presented some of the best ways to read fashion magazines online. Thanks to a growing number of online mags, numerous apps and a host of magazines available for e-readers, there really seem very little reasons to bother going to the bookstore and drag your monthly dose of fashion news home (not to mention the ever unfashionable task of bringing last month’s editions to the paper recycling bin).
'Oh, alright', I hear die-hard ecofashionistas calling out already. 'Why bother with keeping up with the latest fashions, trends and must-haves anyway? It’s so unsustainable to revamp your entire wardrobe every six months or change your style every month!' Well, maybe... But please don’t forget that there’s a growing amount of news on fair fashion in the mainstream fashion mags nowadays. And we wouldn’t want to miss that, would we?
