THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUTYOUR PRETTY CLOTHES

Your jeans emit more than 3 KG of

Carbon Dioxide

Your T-shirt wastes 700 Gallons of

water - that is 140 water cooler jugs

Most of your clothes are not

biodegradable, which means they sit in

landfills for at least 200 years

You take part in making Textiles one of

the poorest recycling rates of any

reusable material

You have about 20 unworn pieces sitting in

your closet right now that you refuse to throw,

regardless of your gender and sexuality

On average, Your family owns $7000 of

clothing, but 1/3 of that is never worn.

Australians waste $1.56 billion on clothes,

accessories and personal care items that are

never used

At the same time, You are buying 5 times as

much clothing as your parents did back in

their days

CULTURAL EXCHANGENO:

Donating to "less privileged"/"struggling" communities

YES:Genuine Exchange of cultures

The exchanging hands of clothes from one culture to another is a unique cultural

experience. A Samoan man taking a sari for his daughter in exchange of his lava lava,

which will get taken by a Malaysian girl is the epitome of authentic cultural

experiences. While donating is an act, GCSM is an experience.
