As time passes, the responsibility to live sustainably becomes more urgent. Wasteful thinking has become ingrained in our culture due to mass manufacturing, fast fashion, trend cycles, and profit-driven systems. As the new season approaches, sustainability should not just be a trend but a standard way of life. As a retailer, you have the opportunity to decide what is sold to the public and how it affects our ecosystem. Shopping sustainably offers the ability to reduce resource depletion in our daily environment. That said, here are some FGmarket wholesale finds made with renewable materials to help break our society’s consumer culture!
