the fashion industry is the second
largest polluter in the world after oil
in the UK 140 million pounds worth of
clothing goes landfill every year it
takes seven hundred gallons of water to
make one cotton shirt fast fashion is
stuff that is not going to last
its trends coming out all the time from
big industries and it's just been given
to us at extremely low prices and it's
not sustainable hello hi and I was just
calling to see if you want to take part
in a swap shop I'm doing tomorrow
so what shop is basically where people
come they bring clothes they'll swap
revolvers and it's just kind of just to
raise awareness of clothing waste yeah
yeah you should definitely come see it's
more yeah brilliant thank you you too
I don't kind of dress like other Masson
or famine mm-hmm I kind of go more down
the route of androgyny yeah and like
there is such a fixation on hyper
femininity and hyper masculinity yeah I
think waving let you feel left out a
little bit yeah it's just it's kind of
like the beauty of charity shops is that
you don't have to go make new things all
the time know about repurposing
completely you got new worries lots more
anything
thank you for nobody comes it'll be
quite amazing this would be the case so
I'm sure people turn up and it's gonna
be a great day yeah hopefully
[Music]
an organization called NCS volunteer to
help me and they're sending to
volunteers for the day
how long have I got about an hour okay
so we need to speed up a little bit cuz
we saw what loads to do
I've invited various people to come and
run independent stores for the event hi
thank you for coming so I'm organizing
the event I'm Eliza is so much to do
yeah I think if it failed and nobody
showed at all it would be incredibly
disappointing to put in all of us work
and effort and for people to still not
have shown any interest at all
[Applause]
[Music]
like 40 minutes in my 1c yeah so we try
a show on the social media at all
yeah did I take on more than I should
have because this is huge
okay trying to like get people involved
there's majority of the public like
maybe they do you care but they just
don't know where yeah and they need to
be made more aware I think they're still
like said the day isn't over like we've
all kind of pushed it on social media
yeah gotta give them a sec to get here
you know let's go back and join the pie
I mean did you bring some cases out yeah
just feel free to browse how it works as
if you brought something just hang up
and then just take whatever you want
pretty much it's great with this has
started and this is something that we
should do do you think I should carry it
on entirely yes what you've started is a
great breeding ground would you come
again definitely oh yeah
it's a smooth environment it's not
overwhelming
you'll finding items Caesar its select
styles as well and it also cuts up with
a postage we are all capable of being
more sustainable in work in our lives at
home in school at uni everywhere like
there's so many different choices that
we can all make and they're all going to
make a difference this workshop is part
of that because people will start to
think when they leave like oh what can I
do that's gonna make a difference apart
from clothing like what other small
differences can I make that is going to
have an effect
[Music]
