‘GENERATE LESS WASTE, REWEAR CLOTHES’
RICKY KEJ,
Every single day should be a world environment day so this day should be no different. But nevertheless it is always good to have one day where we only think about the environment, we celebrate nature and also understand what we can do better to make this world a better place for everyone and everything around us.”
“My message to all city dwellers like myself would be to try and consume less of everything — plastics, meat, fossil fuels, packaging for the things that we purchase and try and rely more on public transportation. Let’s just buy fewer things first of all. A very good way to measure this would be to try to see how much garbage or waste we produce every day and try to reduce that waste, so that we consume less packaging and less stuff that we end up throwing away, and we are also encouraged to reuse whatever we purchase.”
“The mass fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries on the planet, and we must try to return to how things used to be, when we would buy good quality clothes and wear them until they could no longer be worn. So I would encourage everyone to use the hashtag #rewear4earth. Rewear your clothes and challenge the global phenomenon of having to wear a different outfit in every Instagram or social media post. Let us be proud that fashion can be trendy even when worn multiple times.”
