FASHION CORNER

As you can see in the images below, there was a corner dedicated to the impact of the fashion industry.

Fashion is the second most polluting industry of the world. There is a big issue and something must be done to change it.

In this space people were sharing tips about this topic and you can find new ideas to put into practice in your life.

These are some of the Fashion tips:

-BUY SECOND HAND (Vinted, second hand clothes markets...)

-DONATE OR EXCHANGE (with your friends and family)

-REPAIR CLOTHES

-TAKE CARE OF YOUR CLOTHES

-THINK BEFORE BUYING (Am I going to wear it frequently? Does it match with the rest of my clothes?)

And you? What would you do to make your live a little bit more sustainable?
