I was watching a tv doccumentary on how people (at least in britain) love buying clothing in vast amounts especially in shops like Primark, Matalan, Peacocks, etc (shops that sell clothing at dirt cheap prices).
As much as I love the occassional thrill of a bargain and a good fashion find, I can't help but feel sick for these people on how much waste they are encouraging these big companies to produce.
Now, i am not a snob or anything but I have been resisting shopping in places like these lately because as a lover of clothes, I absolutely hate the idea of disposing off my old clothes. I only buy when I really like something and I know that I will wear em a lot but these people buy things that they will probably only wear once & chuck it in the "donate to charity" bag.
My plea to you girls is, maybe just think about your shopping habits for a bit, and try to just buy things you know you will keep for a long time instead of things that you may not actually wear or never wear at all. Let's just try to help the environment by doing a lil thing like that.
A lil bit goes a long way. If we stop buying so much, perhaps these companies will stop producing too much and that in turn will reduce the amount of waste that the limited numbers of landfills can hold. Or perhaps these big companies will for once focus on improving their clothes quality instead of increasing their stock quantity.
I hope I made some sense! x
