| The problem with cotton is the tremendous amount of water that is used to make it - let alone the chemicals used when growing it. That makes it important to look after it and reuse and repair as much as you can. When it is too holey you can recycle it for rags or the worms in the wormery will eat it. How I just loathe all those jeans that have been made and then had most of the wear worn out of them before they hit the shops all tattered with extra holes pre-made. We used to buy our jeans when they were stiff like cardboard and needed to wear them until they were soft. Nothing better and so much better value! Recycle Now has added the WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Plan) information on looking after your clothes - something no-one should grow up and leave home without knowing! https://www.recyclenow.com/recycle-an-item/clothing-textiles The WRAP 'Love your Clothes' campaign ran years ago but remains important and can be found with a lot more info at the bottom of the website page above. |
