How Our Closet Cleanouts Are Harming Africa—And What We Can Do Differently
Ever donated a bag of clothes and felt a little lighter? I used to think I was helping, but here’s the twist: most of our old outfits end up in African markets, where they often become waste, not wardrobe staples.
💡 Next time you clean out your closet, ask: Would I gift this to a friend? If not, it’s probably not wearable for someone else either.
⚠️ Cheap, fast fashion pieces break down quickly and pile up in landfills abroad, polluting communities and waterways.
✅ Try swapping, upcycling, or selling your clothes locally. It keeps fashion circular and reduces global waste!
Let’s rethink our fashion footprint—are you team donate, swap, or upcycle?
