WEAR CLOTHES LONGER, SAVE THE PLANET

Critics say the fashion industry, fuelled by one of the world’s most powerful marketing engines, has long encouraged consumers to buy more clothes than they need. Research shows that people are buying more clothes, but they don’t stay in closets for long. This fuels overproduction and waste.

An easy fix? Wear them longer – the planet will thank you! What else you can do: Repair or alter existing clothes, rent pieces for special occasions, buy second-hand garments and swap items with friends.
