Members had a fun visit to Label at Brampton to purchase pre loved clothes as part of our fight against Fast Fashion.
Did you know —
The textile industry is second only to oil as the world’s biggest polluter
Of the 8 million tonnes of plastic in the ocean the second largest amount comes directly from our clothes
11 million tonnes if textile waste is created each year
Only 1% of clothing is recycled
If we extended the use of our clothes by 9 months it would reduce the carbon, water and waste footprint by 20 – 30%
