#TextileWaste
Thrift stores were built to keep useful goods in circulation, not to process tons of poorly made clothing.
National Thrift Day is worth celebrating, but the future of reuse depends on more..

Mending breaks the linear trajectory of extraction→consumption→waste, turning a one‑way street into a loop, thereby restoring something the modern economy has stripped from us: material agency. Step out of the linear economy into a regenerative relationship w/your clothes.

When you move away from "buying better" and step into "being better"as a caretaker of your things, the math changes.

Extending the life of a garment by just nine months reduces its carbon, water, and waste footprint by 20–30%.

9,000 tons of clothing end up in landfills each year, 76 pounds per person. Fast fashion is a major issue. Your choices can make a difference! Shop less, choose quality, buy secondhand, and support sustainable designers. 🌍✨

#OEWG15 delegates discuss possible #BaselConvention options to address growing trade in used #textiles & #textilewaste. Many Parties favor further developing options, but some & several observers oppose any BC action, saying it'd threaten livelihoods of millions in secondhand clothing sector.

Every year, millions of tonnes of used clothing are shipped from developed nations to the Global South - most of it synthetic or fossil-fuel-based!

Fast fashion produces millions of tons of textile waste every year while encouraging consumers to buy more and value products less. Disposable culture is becoming normalized.

The Real Cost of Cheap Products - Interconnected Earth
A $20 coffee maker. A couch that barely survives a year. A phone charger that stops working after a month. What is the real cost of cheap products?
