🌿♻️ ONE SMALL THING SEGMENT ♻️🌿
❕EPISODE 2: What’s with Polyester?❕

Hi BGS Village! Welcome to the “One Small Thing” segment 😊 where we chat about science & sustainability! Just one small change can make a big difference! 🌍💚

We’re off to Long Beach, CA for a conference, so let’s talk about…POLYESTER! 👗

🔍 Go grab a piece of clothing from your closet and check the tag. What’s it made of? 🧐

Polyester is a synthetic, petroleum-based plastic often found in our clothes. It’s typically produced with toxic chemicals but feels like cloth. 🌿🛢️

💚 Why care? Polyester production impacts climate change more than aviation and shipping combined. Health-wise, it can be carcinogenic and disrupt hormones. We’re wearing plastic! 😱

👩🏾‍🔬At BGS, we offer knowledge & solutions:
1. Check your tags!
2. Buy organic cotton or natural fibers (linen, wool, silk etc.) when possible.
3. Support sustainable brands.

Now, let’s talk conference fits! We’re transitioning to natural fibers and love @everlane Check their sale section for up to 70% off! 🛍️✨
