TIME TO BUY USED
B uying second-hand clothing is environmentally responsible,
as it decreases demand on virgin resources, creates jobs, assists
with charity fundraising, and it relieves our landfill from the
85% of textiles it simply cannot keep up to recycle. In Canada,
the average person throws out 70 pounds of clothing a
year – that’s enough clothing to create a mountain over three
times the size of Toronto’s Rogers Centre! Isn’t it time you
considered buying used clothing and accessories?
According to
Greenpeace,
global clothing
production
doubled from
2000 to date.
The average
person buys
60 percent
more items of
clothing every
year and keeps
them for about
half as long as
15 years ago,
generating a
huge amount
of waste.

is this
your pillow
?
How long have you been
using the same pillow? Is it
time to change it for a new
one? Your face is directly
on your pillow, collecting
facial oil, sweat, drool, dead skin, and
even left-over makeup and hair product. For this reason
alone, pillows should be changed at least every two years.
