- Second-hand first – does it have to be new or could it come from a charity shop, vintage shop or costume house?
- Go to sustainable brands first for keep warm, comfort and general costume items
- Find local suppliers
- Avoid synthetic fabrics and opt for natural fibres instead where possible
- Shop from Fairtrade and Organic brands – for fabrics, clothing and products
- Find sustainable alternatives for consumables – boxed washing powder instead of plastic / glass bottles for milk etc
- What chemicals are you exposing yourself and your team to? Seek less impactful options and make sure they are properly disposed of
