Could you pledge to shop only secondhand for a mon $Could you pledge to shop only secondhand for a month? Celebrating #secondandseptember by sharing this week’s washing ~all secondhand. ✌🏼@fash_rev_newzealand ⁣ So why does it matter? Over 100 billion new garments are made every year, many of which are thrown away after one or two wears, landfills are overflowing with cheaply made goods and the impact that over production is having on the environment is devastating. Every kilogram of clothing sent to landfill creates 3.6kgs of CO2 emissions ⁣🔥🌏💔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ One way to take a stand and help stem the flow of overproduction is to shop secondhand! During #secondhandseptember @oxfamgb challenges people to only buy secondhand for 30 days or more.⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Our tips and from Fashion Fashion Revolution Fanzine #2 ⁣ ⁣ 1. Buy clothing you like, not what’s in fashion. The clothes pictured are all secondhand and bought years ago from op shops or markets and some of them can be worn throughout seasons. The most fashionable thing you can wear is something you already have and love. Perks of secondhand is often if it’s made from 20 years plus ago not many other people are wearing it and it’s a fraction of the price. ⁣ 2 Wash less- make your clothes last. ⁣ The more you wash clothes, the more you’ll wear them out, so try and wait until they really need it. Wait until you’ve got a full load too. ⁣ ⁣ Our tip- Spot wash, swipe to see demos. If you can handwash outside even better, dispose of excess water straight onto concrete. Even if you are using a gentle soap bar, it’s better on concrete then in our seas 🐋⁣ ⁣ 2. Don’t tumble, air dry⁣ Tumble drying is energy-intensive, expensive and can wear out your clothes over time. Air drying, meanwhile, uses zero energy, is completely free and can even help tackle stains. Yes, some people swear that hanging whites in direct sunshine can work wonders on biological stains.🌏 #sustainablefashion #secondhandfashion #thriftedfashion #thrifted #love #preloved #fashion #vintage$
