Did you know that fashion can also increase the accumulation of waste? It's true! Many of the materials used in the fashion industry, such as plastic and polyester, they are highly polluting and they take years to degrade. Additionally, many fashion garments are designed to be disposable, which means they are only used a few times before being discarded. Therefore, if you want to support a more sustainable fashion, a good initiative is to buy less clothes, exchange them with friends and wear clothes made from recycled and organic materials.

Clever stuff happening!
