On disposable clothing
Tuesday, September 18th, 2007The Garden State Subversive writes about disposable clothing, suggesting we “buy alternative fibers such as bamboo and hemp”, OK, but what about wool? Pretty much lasts forever. Kind of a pain to wash, I guess. Also comes from sheep. Not efficient.
Anyway, in the article she links, the claim is made that “once bought, an estimated 21% of annual clothing purchases stay in the home”.
Does this mean people throw out 79% of the clothing they buy every year?
