1 in 5 consumers prefer to give back by purchasing socially responsible products.
39% split giving between charities & cause-based brands.
Some people said that:
buying, rather than giving to charity was simply an easier way for them to give back regularly.
48% believe it is a “more effective” way to support change and make a difference.

In rural landfills, textiles account for 6.1% of the total waste by weight.
Unlike America's big cities, rural communities aren't bursting at the seams with thrift shops or charity organizations as an easy outlet for recycling and reusing unwanted clothing.
Unwanted clothes and textiles often end up in landfills,
where even biodegradable natural fibers do not easily break down
due to lack of sunlight and oxygen.
Incineration is unfortunately another popular form of disposing of textiles and can emit severely harmful toxins into the local atmosphere.
