The days of compulsive buying are coming: Black Fridaythe Christmasand among so many purchases, we sometimes recycle to give a second life to our clothes. But much of the clothing we put in a container is never recycled or reused. Greenpeace They know this because a year ago they placed tracking devices on 29 garments placed in containers. All of them traveled thousands of kilometers around the world. Some of it ended up in Asia and another part in Arica, with a mandatory stop in the United Arab Emirates, which ended up in landfills in African countries or directly in rivers or on beaches, like one in Ghana. Most of these clothes will not be used by anyone for two reasons.: we consume so much that it is impossible to manage its recycling and the majority is of such poor quality that it cannot be recycled. All this is a consequence of an uncontrolled and unsustainable production and consumption model. So, these days, when we go shopping, we should ask ourselves if we really need it.
