Clothes Swap

Buxton Community School Hosts Clothes Swap to Combat Fast Fashion.

Fast fashion, which sees clothing produced at a rapid pace and often discarded after minimal use, has a significant impact on the environment. The global fashion industry is responsible for an estimated 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with millions of garments ending up in landfills each year. The production process alone is energy, water and toxin-intensive, with the transportation of clothing worldwide, and packaging adding further emissions. By swapping clothes or buying second hand instead of buying new, people can directly combat this cycle of waste.
