However, the \"buy local\" reflex has yet to catch on when it comes to shopping for clothing.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\u201cMade in Canada\u201d clothes are often thought of as expensive, hard to find, or just not an attractive option. As such, they haven\u2019t quite found their way into our closets. But we often forget that not very long ago, the east of Canada was home to a vibrant textile industry.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s probably time to go back to our roots as the fashion industry, and the fast fashion trend in particular, are posing many large-scale environmental problems.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThis is why we are demystifying how to shop locally and how this trend is connected to ethical fashion<\/a>.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThis article was produced in collaboration with Earth Day Canada.<\/em>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_anchors_list","anchors_section_title":"In this article, you will discover 5 good reasons for buying local:"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":false,"anchor_link_text":"","text_content":"

Reducing your carbon footprint<\/h2>\r\nShopping locally obviously means geographical proximity and, therefore, a reduction in transportation-related emissions. You only have to take a look at your usual purchases to realize that even the most mundane of products used in your daily life have travelled many kilometres before reaching you.\r\n\r\nAnd the \u201cMade in\u201d label only shows you the last part of the journey your item was on. Resource extraction, transformation, assembly line, packaging\u2026 Each is an additional step in the process of products reaching the shelves of our stores. And the supply chain can be long: between 20 000 km and 40 000 km for a t-shirt, and no less than 65 000 km for a pair of jeans.\r\n\r\nShip, plane, or truck: each kilometre travelled means more fuel used and therefore additional greenhouse gases (GHG) released in the atmosphere - enough to make you want to reduce your purchases\u2019 impacts by shopping locally."},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"Preserving the planet","text_content":"

Preserving the planet<\/h2>\r\nIn addition to reducing GHG emissions, there are many other environmental issues that can be avoided by buying locally produced items.\r\n\r\nOutsourcing production to the other end of the world is usually done to reduce costs, ultimately allowing us to bulk buy many types of things at lower prices. The goal isn\u2019t to be ethical but to be cheap, and this has major impacts on the environment.\r\n\r\nWe can think of cheap leather from Brazilian cattle herds that have long fuelled deforestation in the Amazon, or maritime transportation, which presents the advantage of being much less expensive than air travel, but has significant impacts on marine biodiversity, or the products used to transform and dye textile fibres in countries where the rules regarding air and water pollution are quite lax. Even at the end of their usable life, clothes are likely to take one last boat journey to go flood another country with piles of worn-out garments.\r\n\r\nRelocating the purchase and production processes once again highlights the issues related to our overconsumption, all of which are easy to forget when everything is happening far from home."},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"Protecting human rights","text_content":"

Protecting human rights<\/h2>\r\nIt\u2019s not just the planet that\u2019s suffering from the impacts of the fashion industry; people are, too. The less we pay for an item, the less the individuals along its supply chain are compensated for their work. To produce our $5 sweaters, a certain amount of human exploitation is required.\r\n\r\nPrices negotiated to their absolute lowest for raw materials, forced labour, child labour, disregard for human rights, hazardous working conditions... The sweatshops on the other side of the world do not prioritize the wellbeing of their workers.\r\n\r\nYou always have the option to support Fairtrade certified<\/a> brands to avoid exploitation.\r\n\r\nManufacturing within the country ensures that human rights are respected, at least during the final step of the production stage. Plus, the person selling you products will usually be able to provide valuable information on their origin and manufacturing process.\r\n\r\nShopping locally also allows us to show our pride in locally produced goods. Whether you\u2019re visiting craft fairs, neighbourhood shops, thrift stores, garage sales or local workshops, you\u2019re bound to meet some great people. All that\u2019s left to do is to take the leap."},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"Supporting the economy","text_content":"

Supporting the economy<\/h2>\r\nShopping locally is good for the economy, too, as the value created remains within the country and benefits us directly. It allows us to be more self-reliant and more resilient (particularly when it comes to food), to create jobs, to preserve first-hand expertise, and to revitalize towns and villages.\r\n\r\nThrough taxes, it ensures the value created circulates and benefits those who might otherwise have missed out.\r\n\r\nIt is also a way to make sure the economy supports<\/a> those who make it thrive: us! By encouraging local brands<\/a> dedicated to the planet, we are opting for a consumption mode which we have the power to influence.\r\n\r\nYes, your purchasing power as a citizen is a powerful tool, and it can shape a more sustainable and humane economy for the future."},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"Giving meaning to the things you buy","text_content":"

Giving meaning to the things you buy<\/h2>\r\nFinally, buying local products is a nice way to give meaning to the things we buy. Through the human connections it creates, the knowledge it allows us to gain, and the social and environmental values it upholds, shopping locally leads to more respect for the things we purchase and the people who make them.\r\n\r\nIt is an essential step that allows us to review our consumption habits and to question the ultra-fast fashion model and its 52 collections per year. Remember to consider brands that hold various certifications<\/a> to help the planet, such as B Corp<\/a>, bluesign\u00ae<\/a>, etc.\r\n\r\nMake sure you <\/span>educate yourself<\/span><\/a> on how your clothes are made, where they come from and who benefits from their sale. <\/span>Take time to understand this<\/span><\/a> and to question your purchases. Ask yourself: \u201cWhy this piece of clothing? And what will I do with it?\u201d - a simple way to determine if you are being led by reason or impulse.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nGiving meaning back to things is in direct contrast with the trend of constantly consuming cheap and disposable things. After all, why waste something to which we attach value?\u00a0<\/span>"}],"author_type":"wordpress","partnership_options":{"partnership_label":"","partner_logo":null,"partner_link":"","partnership_text":""},"override_related_posts":false,"related_posts":null,"right_cta_visibility":false,"sidebar_cta_content_override":false,"sidebar_cta_title":"","sidebar_cta_description":"","sidebar_cta_button":null},"yoast_head":"\n5
