April 20, 2022 2 min read
Every year when April 22 rolls around, the world comes together to celebrate Earth Day. A time to reflect what we consume, buy, where we shop and how our daily actions affect the world around us. Aiming to protect our planet by choosing the more eco-friendly options.
Say No To Single Use Plastics
Bring your cute new tote bag around the farmers market with you. Opting for options that aren’t wrapped in cling wrap, bringing your favourite Frank Green Reusable Cup with you to grab your strong latte on the way to the office. Reducing single use plastics where possible makes a huge difference.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
When travelling by bus, train or walking you can significantly limit your carbon footprint. Carpooling with friends when going to an event or meeting up for breakfast. All these modes of transport help significantly reduce the carbon footprint.
Opt For Drying Your Clothes Outside
With sun rays still in full force it’s a great time to start hang drying your clothes outdoors. We all know dryers take up a lot of energy, but why? On average one washed and dried load emits roughly 2.4 kgs of CO2, compared to 0.68kgs per load when hung. Plus, who doesn’t love the smell of fresh air on your clothes.
Eat Sustainably
Next time you’re writing your grocery list, try to think of foods that will positively impact the planet. Eat more plants, opt for the wild caught or organic options. Visiting your local farmers’ market is an ideal way to choose local and fresh produce, while not polluting the air!
Reduce Your Water Usage
As little as 3% of the Earth’s surface is freshwater – in ice, atmosphere and soil leaving only 0.007% available for us to consume. On average, 273L per person daily is used and a staggering over 5000L for the amount of water going into the foods we eat, clothes we wear etc. Limit the time you spend in the shower. Try turning the tap off in between doing washing, bruising your teeth, or cleaning the dishes.
Plant a Tree
This is one of the easiest, cheapest and most effective ways for combatting climate change. We always hear trees are our lungs and boy are they right! Trees are a vital part of our eco-system as they help clean the air we breathe, filter our water and also importantly habitat over 80% of the words terrestrial biodiversity.

Returns will only be accepted under these conditions. As we quality-control all of our styles before they are sent out, we will inspect all return items upon receipt - any returns which fail to comply with the above will be sent back to you. This policy does not affect your statutory rights.
Please note that while every effort is made to accurately display the colour of our garments, as computer monitors vary, we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any colour will be completely accurate.
Australian & International customers will be responsible for shipping and handling charges to return items. If the package does not reach us, we will not be able to complete the refund, we would recommend sending it via traceable post.
If there is a fault with the style you've purchased, we will offer to repair or replace it where available. If we cannot repair or replace the style, we will offer a store credit only. All claims for faulty styles are assessed on an individual basis.
If you require an exchange for a different size, colour or alternative items, you can return your items (providing they meet the return conditions under What can be returned?) and you will be issued with a credit note or refund to place a new order for your preferred items.
Due to the fast turnover of stock, we are unable to hold items and therefore cannot guarantee that your preferred size or colour will be in stock at the time of making your purchase.

This period may vary during peak times (sale periods, public holidays, Christmas/New Year).
