Of the 100 billion garments produced each year, 92 million tonnes end up in landfills. To put things in perspective, this means that the equivalent of a rubbish truck full of clothes ends up on landfill sites every second - but we can do something about this!
A clothes swap is a fantastic way to re-home your unwanted clothes and refresh your wardrobe for free. Here's how it works:
- All clean clothes in good condition are welcome - mens', womens' and childrens' clothes are all fine.
- If you have an item needing a small repair (such as a missing button) feel free to bring it but please pin on a tag or piece of paper explaining what repairs are needed.
- Bring your clothes along on the day between 10:30 - 11am.
- Swapping will begin at 11am and continue until 1pm. Don't forget to bring a bag to take home the clothes you choose!
Laura from the Cloth Nappy Library will also be joining us to demonstrate reusable nappy options.
Plus this year we're hosting a special eco period zone! Come and find out how we can reduce plastic pollution from period products and take home some free samples of items to try.
