How to Save the Planet 🌎 (and some $$$) This Fall

ICYMI…It’s 🍂Fall Y’all🍂 and don’t we love it! We fall hard for PSL, Fall scents and gourd-geous fashion at Curtsy. We know you have a long list of 🍁 faves, too. And, just because we want it all for Fall, doesn’t mean we can’t still show our love for the planet 🌎. Scroll along to see how you can live your best life, but make it eco-friendly this szn. 

  1. Thrift Your 🎃 Halloween Fits 🎃 

We love showing off our creative and drop-dead gorgeous style during Halloween. But, let’s creep it real 👻, we wear the costume to a few parties and then next year we want to be something completely different. That makes costumes the perfect thing to thrift. Feeling spooked because you don’t have a costume yet? Shop our Curtsy Curated Halloween list that we’re always adding Spooky Selections to 🎃 👻💀!

  1. ♻️Reduce and Reuse♻️ at Starbies: Show the Planet Some TLC When You PSL ☕️

Fall has you going to Starbucks on the daily. No judgement here, we love Starbies a latte too! What’s even sweeter? Getting buzzed on pumpkin spice and everything nice, but make it sustainable! Cancel single-use cups by popping inside your favorite Starbucks and filling up your best reusable mug with your Fall drink of choice ☕️ (our new favorite: apple crisp macchiato). Plus, you get a tiny discount for being so thoughtful. Win-win!

  1. Get Fresh with Cozy 🍂 Fall Trends 🍂

The Fall forecast is a 100% chance of cozy. And when you snuggle up to Fall trends you give off major Hot Girl Fall vibes by literally saving the heat 🔥. Cozy up your closet with trending cardigans and sweaters on Curtsy. You’ll feel so cool and will stay warmer this szn in your hot looks.

  1. Major Closet Cleanout 🧺

Bring in fresh Fall vibes with a style refresh. Sell last year’s wardrobe on Curtsy and then get some new Fall fits. Have items you can’t sell? We love organizations like The Bra Recyclers and Project Beauty Share where you can donate your pre-loved goods and do a ton of good 💚💚💚!

  1. Tote Up on Your Trader Joe’s Haul 🛒

Ready for another Fall Trader Joe’s haul!? Don’t forget your reusable tote tho! Need a tote refresh? We got you. Stock up on reusable totes on Curtsy.

  1. 🧖‍♀️Spa Smart 🧖‍♀️

Did you know plastic loofahs can be a little sus? They’re known to shed plastic microfibers down the drain. 😫  Plus, they end up wasting away in landfills. Go natural 🌿🌿! It’s better for your skin and the environment. This szn make sure to treat yo self, because you deserve it. But, let’s also treat the planet cause she’s a queen!

Need some inspo on how to help reduce your carbon footprint and environmental impact? Read on!

  1. Shop & sell responsibly
    • 🛍️ Buy from:
      • Curtsy, duh — but really, the best way to keep up with fashion trends sustainably is to buy secondhand.
      • Facebook Marketplace — there are some GREAT finds out there for furniture. West Elm, Pottery Barn, vintage. Fun fact: our office furniture is all thrifted off of FB Marketplace thanks to our very own Clags!
      • Remake — a Curtsy partner, Remake has a brand directory where they rate brands you already know & love based on factors including: Human Rights, Climate, Water, and Waste. Discover new brands on there & shop them on Curtsy
    • ♻️ Give items a second, third, fourth, etc. life
      • Don’t waste any of your precious time in person at the thrift store. And do you really know where items you donate end up in? The majority end up in landfills. Instead, sell your items on a resale platform like Curtsy so you know they’re not going to end up in a landfill after you’re done with them.
  2. Rethink your beauty & kitchen tools
    • 💋 Beauty — Replace your disposable cotton swabs & pads with something reusable! I personally used to use those disposable make up wipes everyday but have since replaced them with reusable pads & a MakeUp Eraser
    • 🧋 Eat/drink — Try replacing your sandwich bags & saran wrap with beeswax wraps & silicone sandwich bags.Do you still drink your coffee & tea out of paper cups? Do you still buy plastic water bottles? Try reusable tumblers and mugs like these instead. There are SO many options out there.
  3. Watch these documentaries
    • 👗 The True Cost — an eyeopening deep dive into the fast fashion industry
    • 🌊 Seaspiracy — how our diets affect our ocean friends
  4. 🌎 David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet — our impact on nature

  5. Commute consciously — now there are plenty of ways to get around: carpool with friends, bike, scooter/moped, take public transportation, or get some fresh air and walk. 🚲🛴🛵
