i feel like the biggest thing is money
the second biggest thing is the lack of a car. i love second hand shopping because sustainable and cheap but without a car it gets tricky, the best ones are always outside of town

I use a very small size and rarely find it in thrift stores.  Most brands that I'm aware of who produce sustainable often only make S-XL. Too big for me.

As it is, no I can't just go out n buy a sewing machine - was never taught how to fix clothing or do a "proper" stitch.

idk honestly i don't buy clothes really, only when i need something which is very rarely or when i see something i really love in thrift stores which is even more rarely. i've had some of my clothes over 10 years and some of them thrifted too so i can't possibly know how old they are. atm i have bathrobe that was bought for my little brother when he was like 10 years ago and he's 22 now lmao. i really do use clothes as long as they are usable
underwears and sport wears are diffrent thing tho, but i try to find them as second class because it's first of all cheaper

i've bought two pieces of clothing this year it's jeans from thrift store and sportbras

"sustainable" and "shopping" dont really go together anyways unless talking exclusively second hand

honestly i don't feel that it's the consumers responsibility  to create the better more sustainable world. i make minimum wage. i have enough to worry about and it's the multibilion dollar corporations that should be pressured to change- not the working class.

i know thats not like super useful to the conversation but i also dont think its useful treat what are typically financial choices that people HAVE to make like they're moral choices.

yeah i agree with this too

it's convenient that sustainability sometimes goes hand in hand with making economical choices and i'm glad when it does but it doesn't affect the choice much more than the economical standpoint (and like, the fact that u can find unique things when second hand shopping in a way that isn't possible in fast fashion)

i think i would think more about the environment if such choices wouldn't make a dent in my wallet (i.e. if i was wealthy)

but also like the working class often doesnt have TIME to do the research too. like all i have time for and all i can afford might be walmart if for example ive got two children and  a low paying job. that doesn't leave you with a lot of liek TIME. i dont know about you guys in europe but i do think the majority of americans dont actually have CHOICES in regard to this stuff and  it should be the responsibility of the companies to provide better options for us.

The reason i am asking are some of the reasons you are mentioning yourself. I want to collect information that is going to make it much easier to make good choices bc you have the tools to do so without a lot of work yourself bc the info u need is already gathered for u. It's like if u go into ANy store, that you can take a look at the label of a garment or two and be able to decide which is the better choice depending on your need that day and garment composition. The goal is to aim to collect the tools  needed to decide stuff like that, care for ur garment, etc in a way that most ppl can apply it in some degree to what they buy/own no matter the lifestyle or where they buy from. And to explain the importance of it, and the whyfore bc a lot of ppl are still oblivous to it, or don't know where to find the info they need.


I also aim to do it norway based bc I know a lot of the older demographic here suck at English, shop relatively lavishly but don't have the access or skills to decide what's the more sustainable choices. And bc most stuff u read is uk or us based already.  we also love our ff and ppl generally donr suffer from being asked to shop a little less 

And its obvi for the ppl who care abt the topic like if ppl wanna care abour something else and put this on the backburner it is entirely fine bc i do that w other important things too

For me, it is money.
Then again -- this whole sustainability ordeal fills me with so much dread and anxiety that I've stopped buying clothes completely. I haven't bought a fast fashion items in ?? 2-3 years at least. I used to go thrifting on monthly basis but then I ended up feeling like I have too many clothing items and that overwhelmed me so I just stopped buying new stuff altogether.
