I READ a report recently in The Sunday Times that ‘fast fashion’, a term for the impulse buying of clothes online and in stores where people wear the clothes just a few times before discarding and not recycling them, contributes 1.2 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year into the atmosphere.
In the UK alone, some 300,000 tons of clothing ends up in landfill – an interesting statistic to present to the public as they seem to think (incorrectly) that farmers are to blame for all emissions. The same can’t be said of hunt followers’ riding wear as it lasts for decades and is usually passed on from one generation to another.
