Fascinating article!

Buy new clothes less often, repairing damaged clothes, and resisting the temptation to buy new items every season, can have a much bigger positive impact on the world.

Can you repair your clothes? Or persuade a friend or relative to? Or go to clothing repair shops in Skipton?

Or…we can repair clothes for free at the Share Skipton Repair Cafe - August 29th.

What really happens to our used clothes after we donate them to charity?
