RATHER LOVELY CLOTH: Cloth pads are all about sustainability, about reusing and washing instead of disposing; but Rather Lovely Cloth pads are one step further than that. Many of the materials I use are up-cycled. I take used, or new but unused materials and give them a whole new life. Not only is this super sustainable but it makes my pads really absorbent and functional. Website Coming Soon! FB @RatherLovelyCloth
THE QUIRKY ENVIRONMENTALIST: The Quirky Environmentalist is a sustainable living blog focused on living life more planet friendly, and talking about environmental issues. I pride myself on being a very helpful human being and really want to help other people understand environmental issues and become eco warriors in their own rights. The Quirky Queer is run, photographed, and written by Izzy McLeod (they/them), a non-binary MSc student from Cardiff currently studying Renewable Energy and Sustainable Technology. https://www.muccycloud.com/ @MuccyCloud

Swop with style and dress sustainably to reduce your environmental impact. 2020 is the year to swop fast fashion for sustainable fashion. Commitment to quality. Unique designs. Available to swop and buy. https://www.depop.com/swopaholics/ @Swopaholics
CLAIRE REES -UPSTYLE CLUB: I am a sustainability-focused personal fashion stylist who helps people to love the clothes they already have. I’m a former fashion journalist who got fed up of fast fashion and started finding better ways to make an impact through clothes. I offer wardrobe sessions at home, where I show clients how to wear ‘new’ outfits out of old stuff. I also run a ‘slow styling’ service – I’ll source an outfit for your big event – leave me to do the work of scouring vintage, independent labels and charity shops for something really special. Book well in advance. Slow shopping takes a little more time – that’s the beauty of it. We don’t need everything now! http://www.clairereesmedia.com INSTA @UpstyleClub TW @ClaireReesMedia
WREXHAM CLOTHING EXCHANGE: Fast fashion is so yesterday! Why not refresh your wardrobe a different way, swapping your unwanted pieces of clothing, shoes and accessories. They will be back post pandemic very, very soon! TW: @ClothingWrexham FB: @WrexhamClothingExchange
