As we mark Earth Day 2024, it has never been more important to protect the environment.
In the last year, the fashion industry contributed 97 million tonnes of waste to landfill. The beauty industry produces at least 120 billion pieces of packaging each year, and travel is responsible for roughly 8% of the world's carbon emissions. But what can we do about it?
There are several ways we can be more impactful with our choices to better our planet. From creating a circular wardrobe to shopping pre-loved, eating seasonally and travelling slowly, HELLO! has curated a hub to guide you in your journey to living a greener lifestyle.

You may be wondering whether your small changes can really make a difference to the planet. The good news is, there is no such thing as 'too little' when it comes to thinking consciously about our impact on the planet. We don't need a handful of people practising sustainability perfectly, we need 8.1 billion people doing it imperfectly.
With so many brands claiming to be green, it can be hard to know where to invest your money. We promise that all brands featured in our Planet Positive Hub are making it their mission to tread lightly on the planet.
