Oxfam are running their Secondhand Septembe initiative this month
This September Oxfam are running their Secondhand September clothing usage/ re-use awareness programme..
Throwaway fashion is putting increasing pressure on our planet and its people – it’s unsustainable. Every week 13 million items of clothing ends up in UK landfill. And did you know it would take 13 years for one person to drink the water needed to make one cotton t-shirt and a pair of jeans? Choosing to shop second hand can help.
Join Second Hand September and pledge to shop only second hand for 30 days or more. You’ll give clothes a longer life by keeping them from landfill. And by shopping with Oxfam, you’ll be reinvesting your money into helping the poorest people on the planet earn a fair living and beat poverty.
Needless to say, this is also likely to save you a fair few pounds as well, making it a winner for everyone (Apart from clothing stores selling new items of course, but you get my meaning..)
