Starting a new year is an exciting time to get energized, try new things, or practice new positive habits- so why not incorporate some sustainability in that?
To kick off the new year, we’ve compiled some tips for planet-focused New Year’s resolutions!
Closing the Loop
If you are looking to declutter and clean out your closet during the new year, consider recycling your tees with us through our 360° Closed Loop Program. Through our program, we recycle old tees into new material that can be used again in our supply chain to create circular gear!
How it works:
Purchase a closed loop mailer from our website HERE
Fill it up with your old cotton or polyester tees
Drop it off at your closest UPS location
Receive a $10 store credit to use on our website
Zero-Waste Swaps
It’s no secret that single-use items have become a major focus area amongst our planet’s waste crisis.
In 2025, consider making swaps that limit single-use waste like opting for reusable paper towels, reusable napkins, water bottles, silverware, bags, hair care bars, etc. Switching to paperless billing and digital subscriptions can also limit waste (and prevent clutter).
Also consider reusing or repurposing single-use packaging to store or package other items, like glass jars, boxes, and plastic containers!
Practice Conscious Consumption
Making intentional purchasing decisions to support smaller sustainable businesses is a great way to use your dollar to help your community and planet throughout the year.
- Shop Small + Local: As mass superstores and chains are seemingly everywhere, choosing to purchase goods from smaller companies helps support the existence of diverse local businesses and provides an opportunity to find unique items!
- Shop Smart: Opting for items ethically made of eco-friendly materials can prevent excess resource consumption and pollution, provide fair wages to workers, and help promote a circular economy.
Sustainable Eating
Through the new year consider making swaps to include more seasonal, local, or organic produce!
Buying local and seasonal helps support local farmers and prevent emissions from shipping foods across the country and planet!
Buying organic helps limit the use of pesticides on agricultural land and food, which can harm natural biodiversity, disrupt long-term soil health, and pollute water supplies
Additionally, reducing meat consumption can be a great way to reduce carbon emissions through your diet.
If you have the ability, adopting a more sustainable diet is one of the best ways to live a more eco-friendly life!
Learn More
One way to tune into sustainability this new year is to learn more! The idea of sustainability intersects with so many topics. Picking up a new book or watching an environmentally-focused documentary can be an entertaining way to educate yourself about various sustainability topics and inspire action.
As we make our way on another trip around the sun on the only planet we have, let's think about how we can incorporate mindful habits that consider Mother Earth in our daily decision-making and lifestyles!
