I'm taking part in ##secondhandseptember from oxfam
A pledge to not buy anything new, particularly clothes, for a month, unless essential, instead using 2nd hand platforms/shops or upcycling/recycling/repairing
Worth a thought?

Today is International Repair Day, celebrating the power of repair to build communities, reduce waste and teach new skills.
We’re looking back on the fantastic weekend of activities we organised at the end of #SecondHandSeptember to coincide with our #RepairCafe.
We celebrated repair as resistance.

💧 The clothes sitting unworn in Scottish wardrobes are wasting enough water to supply 90,000 people for life.

The problem isn't a lack of clothes. It's a fashion system that keeps encouraging us to constantly buy new clothes.

This #SecondHandSeptember, let's keep clothes in use for longer💚
Graphic showing a split-screen image. The left half features neatly stacked piles of folded clothes in various colours. The right half shows blue water with visible ripples. Large white text across the image reads: “UNWORN CLOTHES IN SCOTLAND WASTE ENOUGH WATER TO SUPPLY 90,000 PEOPLE with drinking water for life”. At the bottom, green text reads “#SecondHandSeptember”. The graphic highlights Oxfam Scotland research on the hidden water impact of unworn clothing.

Op-Ed: À l'occasion du #SecondHandSeptember, nous appellons la Belgique à soutenir la seconde main et à imposer un cadre à une industrie qui produit trop, trop vite et trop souvent au détriment des droits humains. 👚👖

🚨 The global fashion industry makes so many clothes that never get worn that every single person in Scotland could have 2,200 brand new outfits.

Fast fashion = wasted resources + rising pollution.

This #SecondHandSeptember, let’s dress for the world we want.

Continuing to think about my #SecondHandSeptember
I think I'll commit not to buy any clothes at all as I usually buy second hand anyway. Instead I'll focus on wearing everything I already have, especially if I've not worn them yet or not for a long time
