Clothing Swap Event
Fast fashion is a major contributor to global warming and climate change. It is responsible for 8-10% of global emissions. 87% of unwanted clothing ends up in landfill, and since about 60% of all new clothing materials are made up of plastic, it is inevitable that some of that plastic will end up in our waterways, and ultimately our oceans.
As a part of Exploring Science we have decided to run a clothing swap. This clothing swap will allow you and your peers to exchange clothes which promotes sustainable living and discourages overconsumption and the need to buy clothes from fast fashion brands such as Shein, Temu and Cotton-on .
We are planning the swap for week 7 and we will have a few lunch times in week 6 where we will be for accepting clothes. I hope everyone contributes, knowing that they are helping to save our planet.
Further information will be released soon, Thank you!
