13 People Who Proved Recycling Old Outfits Is the Future of Fashion

In America alone, the amount of wasted clothing in the past 20 years has risen from 7 to 14 million tons every year. That’s why it makes sense to never throw something away or try to pass it on unless it has been used as much as possible. Apart from the environmental side, there is also a sentimental side to sharing your old clothes with your offspring. It’s just so cute seeing a wedding dress being passed down through generations.
