Today is Earth Overshoot Day — the date when humanity has used more from nature than our planet can renew in a year. From now until December 31, we are living on ecological credit — borrowing from the future.
This sobering reminder shows that our current consumption patterns are unsustainable. But here’s the good news: there are simple, meaningful changes we can make — starting with what we wear.
At Le Prix, we believe shopping secondhand is one of the most accessible ways to take climate action every day. Choosing preloved clothing helps reduce demand for new production, conserves resources, and diverts waste from landfills — all while keeping your style fresh and intentional.
Watch this short video to learn more about Earth Overshoot Day and how secondhand shopping makes a difference:
What Can We Do?
- Shop secondhand first to reduce your fashion footprint

- Talk about it — awareness leads to action
As a Canadian woman-led business, Le Prix is proud to make sustainability stylish and accessible. Together, we can help move Earth Overshoot Day in the right direction — later in the year, and closer to balance.
