About the event
The EPA reports that Americans generate 16 million tons of textile waste a year. On average, 700,000 tons of used clothing gets exported overseas and 2.5 million tons of clothing are recycled. But over three million tons are incinerated, and a staggering 10 million tons get sent to landfills. and fibers used to make clothing will end up in either incinerators or landfills. Only 1% of clothes will get recycled into new garments.
Join us in exploring ways to repurpose, restyle, & remake garments. We’ll take a look at various ideas & techniques to put our skills, creativity, & resourcefulness to use! Please be sure to have your own projects ready to share & discuss.
Can’t wait to see you there!
