It's a big day! Iconic shoe brand UGG announced on Thursday that their Spring/Summer 2022 collection would include a line of "Organic Essentials" made from high-quality, organic cotton, intended to last long so that consumers can cut down on purchasing wasteful amounts of clothing. The collection's pieces, which come in neutral colors along with exciting neon shades, are made with production methods that utilize 80 percent less energy, 38 percent less water, and result in 70 percent fewer greenhouse gases. Their cotton is also grown without employing any pesticides, fertilizers, or other chemicals that damage soil and contaminate groundwater.

This initiative is part of UGG's FEEL GOOD pledge, which promises to reduce the company's carbon footprint and play a role in pulling fashion toward a more sustainable future

It helps, too, that the line is beautiful. Whether you're looking for something to lounge around the house in or you're on the hunt for your next gym outfit, there's something in this extensive collection for you.
