Are you even able to wear each of your clothes at least once during the past year?  Do you keep buying new clothes? Did you know that cheap (and often unethically made) clothing that uses inexpensive materials is responsible for 8% of global greenhouse emissions and for 10% of micro-plastics? 

Polyester and nylon clothing are made of plastics and, every time you wear and wash these clothes, tiny fragments of plastics are given off into the air and water.  Whenever new clothes are made it takes a lot of water (700+ gallons for one t-shirt!). Twenty percent of global waste water is from clothing production and dyes. Americans purchase five times the amount of clothes they used to and they are wearing them less.

What can you do?  Shop slowly and be mindful by purchasing second-hand, or just continue wearing (and mending) your current clothes.
