On #WorldCleanupDay, let’s rethink fashion waste:
🌍 City recycling & repair

Today is #WorldCleanupDay, a day dedicated to tackle the global waste crisis by cleaning up litter and raising awareness for a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable future. Let's all do our part and #LeaveNoWasteBehind! ♻️ #WorldCleanupDay2025

Illustrations from: 🌍 LOOP DE LOOP and 🚚 KING OF THE DUMP
A child is snorkelling underwater with coral and plastic waste beneath her. Text beside her reads: But our planet's resources are limited. And we've taken too much. We've made more than we can use. The water, air and soil are polluted because we stopped taking care. And many of the things we throw away won't break down. Instead they pile up, up up. An illustrated scene shows a busy waste sorting facility with bins for different kinds of waste, an "As Is" store, and machinery filtering through a pile with seagulls flying around. An illustration features a diverse group of people picking up garbage from a river. The text on the page reads: But all over the planet, people are rediscovering a better way to live. We're finding inspiration in the circles all around us and working to protect the Earth. We're going way beyond recycling. We're getting rid of trash altogether! We're building a loop de loop world where the cycle of nature is our guide.
