While fashion is a great expression of our own personal style, "fast fashion" has unfortunately become the second leading cause of clean water pollution due to retailers dumping toxic chemicals.
Therefore, some companies have become more mindful about establishing ethical production practices and are focused on being more eco-friendly.
And, being environmentally-friendly doesn't mean customers are limited on designs and price points. If you are looking to reduce waste and be more eco-conscious, Green Matters has rounded up a list of seven sustainable underwear brands that are totally cute and won't break the bank.
So, whether you're in the market for a sensual new pair of underwear or are looking for fashionable basics, check out our favorite brands that are on a mission to reduce their environmental footprint.
