From practical takeaways to inspiring quotes, here's everything to know...

Marie Claire UK launched its first ever Sustainability Festival, taking place virtually on Saturday 27 March.

The event was in partnership with Vanish, who have collaborated with the British Fashion Council to challenge our throw-away culture. In a bid to create a more circular fashion industry, Vanish are raising awareness and empowering consumers to adopt more sustainable fashion choices by championing the re-purpose, re-wear and recycle message.

Hosted by the Marie Claire team, the festival encouraged viewers to #startsomewhere, featuring leading voices and brands within the global sustainability movement.

Its aim? To share insights and advice on how we can live all aspects of our lives more sustainably, kickstarting a month of Marie Claire content dedicated to sustainable living.
