Let's Get Recyclin'
Fashion! Fashion! Fashion! We’ve got fashion here, fashion there, we’ve got fashion everywhere!
Fashion is ever-evolving, styles are ever-changing and along with such styles sadly, our once-upon-a-time beloved new clothes become the boring old attires of today!
It would interest you to know that, in India, a whopping 1 million tonnes of textiles are thrown away with an average of 60% of consumers throwing away their most adored clothes in their first year of purchase!
Perhaps, one of the biggest reasons for such wastage is fast fashion and newer trends coming onto us every single day, dramatizing fashion and how!
The end result? More and more landfills, greenhouse emissions, and air & water pollution!
The future? If our consumption continues to be the same, by the year 2050, over 150 million tonnes of clothing waste will clog up our landfills and our chance of a cleaner & greener future too!
So what can you do about this?
