Our campaign started with the idea: wouldn’t it be nice if clothing stores were a place where secondhand clothing could find a new life? We’ve set the example in recent months by collecting clothes and giving them away. Of course we’d like our example to be followed, but a good start would be to at least let our clothes hang.<\/p>\n
Another interpretation of this could, for example, be a fashion library: renting out clothing, either for a fixed price per item of clothing, or in the form of a subscription. We see similar initiatives being extremely popular on a small scale – an innovative company that would launch this on a national scale would be loved by the public.<\/p>\n
Changes in the production line could matter a lot as well. Consider the use of organic cotton, hemp and bamboo, without genetic modification or chemical pesticides. Stop using animal wool – not only because of the high emissions, but also because of the exploitation of the animals. Keep collecting clothes, and use the fabric from discarded clothes to make new clothes.<\/p>\n
Make sure that new clothing is recyclable: don’t use chemicals in the production, and create clothing out of one type of material, or ensure that the different materials can be separated easily. In other words: promote sustainability not just to the consumer, but also to the industry itself.<\/p>\n
Ensure that various quality marks continue to monitor production, transport and retail for sustainability and human rights. Don’t buy or sell anything without knowing 100% sure where it came from.<\/p>\n
One way or another, work towards the ultimate goal: reducing greenhouse gas emissions to survivable levels, and creating a world where globally human rights are put above profit. To this end we demand: do what is necessary!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our campaign started with the idea: wouldn’t it be nice if clothing stores were a place where secondhand clothing could find a new life?
