Why Greener Threads

The inspiration for Greener Threads comes from a deep concern for the future of our planet. As we witness the harmful consequences of fashion industry practices, from sweatshops to pollution, it becomes evident that change is necessary. The app draws inspiration from the growing global movement advocating for sustainable fashion, where conscious consumers and environmentally-friendly brands are leading the way. It seeks to harness the collective power of individuals to make a meaningful impact on the fashion industry.
