Journal etc.: January, Conserving
A time of new year's resolutions and new things in general. What if we simply looked at things we are lucky to have already, in a new light? Instead of getting distracted by shiny new objects, while perhaps sometimes tempting, we also love to celebrate the old, like that pair of trousers from 8 years ago you remembered you had; or at least know how to repurpose old things. According to WRAP, around 300,000 tonnes of clothing – worth about £140 million – go to landfill every year in the UK alone.
