@sprite_1988: Every week, over 7.5 million pounds of donated clothes from around the world end up in Ghana’s Kantamanto Market — one of the largest secondhand clothing hubs on Earth. What started as recycling and charity has turned into a massive overflow of fast fashion waste. Mountains of used clothes now flood local markets, beaches, and communities, raising tough questions about where our ‘donations’ really go.#thrift #nostalgia #fastfashion #group7 #documentary

Why don’t they make rugs out of them or rags or cat beds or recycle the fabric

In India, it is shredded recycled and used in cement for bricks and insulation

Random thought, but are the sea levels rising due to the amount rubbish we dispose of into it?

We all need to do better by going back to natural fabrics and buying MUCH less! Then, wear it til it wears out!

I’ve gone capsule wardrobe with thrifted, natural high quality pieces only. Turn old clothes into rags to clean. Can’t contribute to this anymore.

If it’s helping other countries that’s great but I recently become very mindful about my purchases, I try to buy one or two things that I actually need instead of want.
