TOMS "One for One Movement"

 

 

  • On average, each American buys 48 new pieces of clothing and throws away 68 pounds of old clothing each year.  

1% for the planet

 
  • Clothing and other textiles represent about 4 percent of the weight and 8 percent of the total volume of municipal solid waste in the US.

    This figure is growing !!
