Planting is simple. You bury a seed into the ground, water it, and give it sunlight when needed. It is quite a trend for some during this quarantine lifestyle. But if you feel like you don’t have a green thumb but still want to somehow help the planet, Plain allows you to shop and contribute to tree planting efforts.

Plain Los Angeles is an ecom based in LA but ships worldwide, offering plain black hoodie, shirt, cap, minimalist clip wallets, accessories, and more. It started off with offering plain clothes wear in order to enable anyone willing to go for a minimalist fashion lifestyle. Minimalism is said to help in further aiding the planet since it lessens one’s carbon footprint. The popular 3 Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - usually has emphasis on Recycle thanks to the high global consumerism but we forget that Reduce is first and also offers good impact.

The likes of Marie Kondo and her “sparks joy” movement has been observed and savored by many since this philosophy offers a simpler and decluttered lifestyle said to be helpful in having peace of mind. Thus, a simple but helpful brand like Plain has sprung to offer anyone a lifestyle change. Starting with simple casuals clothing for both men and women, the brand also offers various eco friendly products in a sense that they’re multipurpose to enable enhanced green living for consumers. The brand continues to source various products that would further enable a minimalist person with their chosen lifestyle.

But of course, we are not saying that online shopping is a greener route compared to offline shopping. Both digital and traditional have their pros and cons and the ultimate way to lessen your carbon footprint would be to buy in bulk or all your needs at once, whether you are in the mall or on a specific website, instead of multiple trips or checkouts. Less is more.
