What is Sustainable Fashion anyway?

To me sustainable means – thinking about the impact of my actions in every walk of my life. If I rip a piece of paper towel off the roll I think about where that paper came from and where it will go after I use it for 2 seconds to wipe up a spill. When I buy groceries I pick items that were produced locally and that are in a package that I can either reuse or recycle. I have spent many hours in thrift stores and fabric stores and I am always wondering what sort of impact the things I find there had on the environment to produce. I hope that spending my dollars on items that were produced responsibly is having an impact on those practices. When I am in a thrift store my mind races and sees the limitless possibilities for reusing those items either as is or by refashioning them.
