6 EASY AND IMPACTFUL WAYS TO REPURPOSE AND RECYCLE

Ever wondered what happens to the clothes you throw in to the trash? Well, here is a fun fact; they decompose together with the rest of the garbage, and this process of decomposition releases toxic greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. Yes, our clothes and the apparel industry in general contributes vastly to global warming which is now very quickly causing damage to our environment and consequently to our lives. According to the United Nations Climate Change Chapter, the fashion industry contributes 10%of the greenhouse gases due to its rigorous usage of raw materials, transportation and extensive energy consuming production lines. This consumption of energy is higher than both the shipping and aviation fraternities put together, this was a shocking revelation to me, I am sure you are baffled too. So, here’s the deal; the need of the hour is to switch to sustainable fashion or at least try to minimise the amount of fashion waste that leads to climate change. Since the production of clothes is not going to stop and nor is our fetish with the latest trends that come out this summer; lets join the sustainable fashion movement and find smarter ways to reuse, repurpose, and recycle from the comfort of our homes.
