Plant Subscriptions & Online Shops For Your Indoor Oasis

Many of us have been spending a lot more time at home since the pandemic and have been trying to turn our houses into our own private havens. Plants are an amazing way to bring more life into your home, making it a much nicer space to live and work. From Instagram inspiration to TikTok trends, we’re still seeing the popularity of houseplants growing and people want to know how they can bring more green into their homes. 

One way of exploring the world of houseplants is with a plant subscription. Perfect for beginners or wannabe plant moms, a plant subscription can provide you with fresh plants, personalised to you, delivered safely to your doorstep. A subscription service gives you an expert guide to which plants will work best for you and your lifestyle, where to position them, what they need to thrive and how to care for your new plants. Plant subscriptions can take away a lot of the worry of owning house plants and can give you the confidence to learn more about plant care, as well as reaping the benefits of having more plants in your home!

What are the benefits of having houseplants?

Houseplants have several benefits, and they can positively impact your mental and emotional well-being. One of the main benefits of having houseplants is their ability to reduce your stress levels. Studies have found that plants in your home or office can make you feel more comfortable, soothed, and natural. The simple tasks associated with houseplants like repotting or watering them can serve as mini mental breaks, giving you time to focus on one thing and be present in the moment. Apart from relieving stress, plants can also help us be more focused and productive - perfect for your home office or workspace!

Researchers have used horticultural therapy to increase feelings of well-being among people with depression, anxiety, dementia, and other conditions. And according to a 2002 study, looking at plants and flowers may speed your recovery from an illness, injury, or surgery.

Houseplants can also improve the air quality of your home via phytoremediation, the process of plants scrubbing contaminants from the air. Plants such as the rubber tree, spider plant and Ficus tree are known for their air purifying abilities. 

p.s. we recently published a post about the sustainability behind houseplants. we understand filling your home with plants brings much joy and has a lower impact than flowers, but there are a few tips to make your experience more sustainable. we suggest propagating your new plants, choosing plants which can thrive without peat, using substitute plant food like these ones and collecting rainwater to feed them.

Why is sustainable fashion more expensive?

A couple of weeks ago, I posted on social media about the price of sustainable fashion. The point of the post was to show there are many ways to have a sustainable closet - you don’t have to buy anything new. But if you do buy a new article of clothing from a sustainable brand, it can’t be done cheaply. There are fair costs that go into making a garment and labeling it ‘sustainable/ethical.’ I quickly learned from many comments that there is a complete disconnect between manufacturing and customers. We’ve been so used to seeing a $5-10 t-shirt we can’t fathom why it would cost over $30? This sparked my interest in creating a new line of posts on Sustainably Chic. I’m calling it the True Cost Series, and on the 1st of each month, I will take a garment from a sustainable brand & break down the cost.

Check out our other True Cost Series:

The High Price Of Hemp & Cost Breakdown Of A Towel

Cost Per Wears With A Classic Denim Jacket

A Bra With No Secrets

The Garment

Fair Trade Unisex Tee

The Good Tee

$36, Ethically Made in India

The perfect starting point is our beloved plain jersey cotton t-shirt! It’s the most basic part of a wardrobe and will likely be the smallest price point in this series.

I want to thank The Good Tee for being my guinea pig and making such a fantastic, thoughtful t-shirt! I’m wearing the Slim Fit Short Sleeve in the first photo, which is the same price as this one.

The Cost of Manufacturing

The first thing that comes to mind is ‘sewing,’ which is just one of 10 manufacturing price breakdowns for this t-shirt. Since The Good Tee uses Fair Trade Certified Organic Cotton, the material price is already higher. They are also a smaller brand, ordering smaller volumes so that it won’t have significant volume price breaks. If you are unfamiliar, conventional cotton uses several harmful toxic chemicals (such as dangerous insecticides like aldicarb, parathion, and methamidophos) to grow, which aren’t only damaging our soil, but the communities growing the crops. Using a strictly regulated clean fiber ensures the safety and well-being of farmers, our health, and the planet. Fairtrade cotton also protects farmers; since 1997, nearly 200k farmers in India have committed suicide.

India is an excellent location for manufacturing cotton products because they have some of the best organic cotton fields and certified factories to produce fabric and clothing. While it only accounts for about 1% of their farms, it still produces the most organic cotton compared to any other country. To read more about Indian cotton farmers and their path to organic, visit this link.

I love this cost breakdown from The Good Tee. It lays it all out there so you can see just how much goes into manufacturing a garment. From the fiber to the trimming from the production to the duties (18%!!!), every brand should offer their consumers a way to see what goes into the clothing you wear every day.

Now, after you see it takes almost $10 to make a fair trade t-shirt, HOW can brands like H&M create t-shirts (with partly organic materials) for half the price - without even adding the rest of the business expenses on in the markup?! And, yet, H&M is worth a whopping 18 BILLION dollars! It’s all done at the cost of people & the environment - and we can say this for most fashion retailers today.

---

LOCAL Business Costs

So, what about the other $26? The associated costs of doing business are another disconnect many consumers have. When you spend so much time creating a brand, it would be nice to profit the full $26, but not even close. You still have overhead to pay for (which would be your warehouse or storefront), and if you are also a wholesaler, you would have additional cuts to provide for other retailers. Your employees - and the owner - must be paid. The Good Tee manufactures offshore but still employs domestically. Most of the product development is done locally, and they have a graphic designer, technical designer, pattern maker, and sample maker to create every style. Then you have marketing, which is an essential part of a business and should account for 8% of your gross revenue. After all is said and done, you want to reinvest in the business and new product, which takes money, too.

WHEW! That’s a lot, isn’t it?! I hope this series continues bridging the gap between manufacturing and consumers so that we find more respect in the work that goes into the clothing we love to wear every day. Next time you see a garment and think the price is outrageous, send the brand an email and see if they can explain their price breakdown. Transparency is so important today.

*this is just an example and is not a universal price for every sustainably-made product - costs will vary from brand to brand*

The Best Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Doormats

In need of a new welcome mat? We’ve compiled a list of our favorite eco-friendly and sustainable doormats to add a little charm before entering your home.

WHAT MAKES A Doormat sustainable?

Quality is essential for a sustainable doormat because they see a lot of foot traffic. Therefore, you want a doormat that can withstand all the walking, dirt, and outdoor elements for many years. Another thing to look for is the type of material used. Most doormats in this post are made from natural fibers like coir or jute and recycled materials like rubber, rope, and more.

Our Top Picks for Eco-Friendly Doormats:

2. Rope Doormat

4. Tossed Dash Doormat

We love the look of semi-circle doormats. Unfortunately, you don’t see them near as often! Artisans in India handcrafted this particular one from West Elm.

---

5. Upcycled Flip-Flop Mat

Brand | Ten Thousand Villages

Price | $44.99

Materials | Recycled Rubber Flip Flops, Metal Wire

This one is just too cool! We love when brands can reuse someone else’s trash to create something beautiful and useful.

Artisans from this group benefit from educational seminars, vocational training, and financial and medical assistance.

---

6. Camper Doormat

Brand | Flagology (Etsy)

Price | $36.99

Flagology uses strong recycled rubber (weighing only three pounds) to make one of the market's toughest, most durable doormats. They are designed for indoor and outdoor in high-traffic areas.

The Best Sustainable Size-Inclusive Bras

These brands are doing a much better job at being size inclusive than other underwear brands - and I’m sure every woman has struggled with finding the perfect fitting bra sometime in their life. A few of these lines are all about support, some about comfort and active lifestyles, and all are ethically made. While we don’t agree with all of the fibers used, it’s nearly impossible to find a supportive bra made without any synthetics. So we think it’s important to have more brands on here that are doing the work to make ethical clothing more accessible to everyone!

A side note: the first two brands offer underwire bras while the others do not. If the underwire is MUST for you, and you have found a sustainably-minded brand offering them, please let us know in a comment below :) We would love to add more!

Must See Documentaries on Sustainability

If you are interested in educating yourself about how the fashion industry is affecting people and the environment, sustainable documentaries are a great place to start. The repercussions of mass manufacturing and disposable clothing are becoming harder and harder to ignore. However, because most of the clothing Americans and westernized countries are buying is made overseas, the immediate effects are easier to overlook. 

From forced labor and unsafe working conditions to devastating environmental destruction, there is a price to pay for every piece of clothing made and not just the one on the price tag. The majority of labor workers overseas in countries like Bangladesh are paid so little that most live in poverty. They often face abuse and poor working conditions on a daily basis despite working for some of the largest and most profitable companies in the world. 

To make matters worse, our planet is also suffering. In America alone, we dispose of 11 million tons of textile waste per year. Globally, we consume about 80 billion new pieces of clothing every year. With the world’s consumption rising at an alarming rate and renewable resources becoming increasingly scarce, our planet is suffering and on the brink of irreversible damage. While this all sounds scary, hope is not lost but this is why it’s so important to educate yourself and be aware of the effects of your daily decisions. It is through awareness that we can make better choices.

This list of 11 sustainable documentaries will provide insight into the ways our consumption habits, especially our shopping habits, can change the world for better or for worse.

SUSTAINABLE FASHION DOCUMENTARIES

1) True Cost

Watch the trailer: True Cost Trailer

If you are unfamiliar with the 2013 Rana Plaza collapse in Bangladesh that resulted in over 1,000 casualties, you need to watch True Cost.

This documentary exposes the corrupt infrastructure that allowed abuse of labor workers, neglect for their working conditions, and the health issues caused by using genetically modified materials.

While the westernized countries focus on finding the latest fashion trends, the families featured struggle to feed their families while working nearly 90 hours a week.

This documentary is eye-opening and will shift how you evaluate the true cost of your clothes.

2) Fashionscapes: A Living Wage

Watch the trailer: Fashionscapes: A Living Wage Trailer

From the director of True Cost, Andrew Morgan, and co-founder of Eco-Age Olivia Firth, this documentary explores the activists and laborers holding the fashion industry accountable for allowing poverty-level wages.

Most of the men and women making the clothes sold by popular fast fashion brands are paid below a living wage despite companies raising prices and selling more clothes than ever.

This documentary allows women who have experienced injustice and poverty firsthand from working in the fashion supply chain to share their stories of what change has and has not been made, despite the global outcry and company policies set in place.

Watch it: Youtube

3) The Machinists

Watch the trailer: The Machinists Trailer

Follow the story of three female garment workers in Bangladesh who share the struggles of daily life working in factories trying to provide for their families.

They often work unlawful long hours or risk facing the reprimands of their supervisors.

Since they are the breadwinners of their families, most workers are forced into a cycle of abuse and remain in poverty due to being paid lower than a living wage. The film also features the man working to enforce a trade union in Bangladesh, where many fast fashion brands manufacture their clothes. The Machinists gives viewers insight into what it means to work in a sweatshop where forced overtime, unsafe working conditions, and pay garnishment is normalized.

Watch it: Youtube

4) UDITA (Arise)

Watch the trailer: UDITA Trailer

Covering five years in Bangladesh sweatshops, UDITA is a documentary that reveals the challenges female garment workers face as they fight for freedom, against industry oppression, and for a better life for themselves and the generations to come.

This film showcases stories of hope and strength but also a very real look behind the scenes at what it means to be a Bangladeshi woman trying to survive and leave their village a better place for their children.

Watch it: Youtube

---

5) Traceable

Watch the trailer: Traceable Trailer

In an effort to connect the dots between the clothes we wear and the people who make them, Traceable follows fashion designer Laura Siegel’s journey across India to produce her own clothing collection.

Through her own experience, this documentary showcases how communities are affected by the products we consume and what our dollars support when we make disposable and impulsive purchases.

Traceable also explores what “luxury” fashion really means and how clear transparency is important to be upheld throughout the supply chain so that consumers can make better-educated choices about the products they buy.

Watch it: Amazon

---

6) The Next Black

Watch the trailer: The Next Black Trailer

What’s next in the future of fashion? Is there hope for a world that doesn’t treat garment workers as disposable as the clothes they make? The Next Black is uncovering what the future of clothing looks like and how we can innovate the fashion industry to be more sustainable. This documentary gives us hope that with industry leaders taking action and believing in a sustainable business model there can be a world where our clothes don’t destroy our planet.

Watch it: Youtube

7) RiverBlue

Watch the trailer: RiverBlue Trailer

Have you thought about how much water goes into making our clothes? Or what happens to the water after it’s been used in the dyeing and production process? RiverBlue examines the world’s most polluted rivers and how the fashion industry continues to contaminate our planet’s most vital resource to keep up with the demands of clothing companies.

Xintang, China is the denim capital of the world and due to the toxic runoff from the dyeing process, Pearl River is now indigo blue due to contamination, which is what inspired the name of the film. RiverBlue is narrated by Jason Priestley who is an advocate for water conservancy and a well-known actor and director.

8) Minimalism: A Documentary About The Important Things

Included in this award-winning documentary are interviews with people from a variety of backgrounds that have made the transition to living with less and how it has enriched their lives. This is an inspiring watch if you feel ready to pursue a lifestyle that is free from the mentality that stuff will make us happy.

The Minimalists' follow-up documentary Less Is Now is currently streaming on Netflix.

9) A Plastic Ocean

Watch the trailer: A Plastic Ocean Trailer

Our planet has a major plastic problem which is explored in A Plastic Ocean. The destruction caused by plastic in all environments around the world spares no species. From the ocean life getting tangled in it, the birds eating it to our food being grown on piles of it, plastic pollution is a problem in every corner of the world. Animals are unable to escape the pollution in their natural habitats because of the rate our society utilizes plastic products. This film will hopefully inspire you to re-evaluate the role plastic has in your lifestyle.

Watch it: Amazon

---

10) Kiss The Ground

Watch the trailer: Kiss The Ground Trailer

A lot of documentaries focus on the problem and raising awareness, which has its benefits, but Kiss The Ground also explores possible solutions for healing our planet. After years of tiling, contamination, and erosion of the Earth’s lands, this film uncovers what may be the secret to fighting climate change. By using soil as the focus for regeneration efforts and innovative agricultural farming techniques, experts believe our planet has a chance to be revived if we provide it with the right care.

Actor and activist Woody Harrelson narrates this hopeful documentary that not only raises awareness but also provides sustainable solutions to our most pressing climate issues.

Watch it: Netflix

11) Our Planet

Watch the trailer: Our Planet Trailer

Our Planet is an Emmy award-winning nature documentary series that brings you into the natural habitats of animals in the sky, on land, and under the sea in a way you’ve never seen before.

It is as informative as it is stunning to watch and serves as a reminder that Earth is not just our home but for many other species, too. Each 45-minute episode focuses on a different part of the planet’s ecosystem and the conservation issues that plague it.

This series also shows the animals that are at risk of extinction if we don’t change our habits and begin to restore the delicate balance among the world’s ecosystems.

This documentary talks less about sustainability compared to the other films on this list but is a reminder of the role we play in the environment and showcases the beautiful world we live in that needs our help.
