A fair amount of the carbon impact of textiles is from the washing & drying elements, so air drying your clothes is a quick and effective win. It also saves your energy bills. #Winwin

When you buy new clothes, you might not realise that the true cost goes well beyond what it says on the tag. Almost a third of our household waste carbon emissions come from clothing & textiles. Make the most of what's already in your wardrobe - wear it, share it & repair it.

Clothing and textiles are worse for the climate crisis than plastic waste. While textiles make up just 4% of our household waste by weight, they account for nearly a third of our carbon emissions. So love what's in your wardrobe and wear it, don't waste it.
