I’ve been reading your most recent book and been trying to curb some of my habits along the way. One of my biggest challenges with reducing clothing waste and that consumption habit has been changing my work circumstances and having to accordingly change dress codes (or working in retail in the past where it’s strictly enforced you are wearing what is current to the store, which means I’ve built up ten years worth of clothes for full time work I no longer need or wore). Then further the fact I have been all the sizes between an Australian 4 and a 16 over my adult life with pregnancy, health challenges, an eating disorder etc. I work from home now so what I wear matters less and can be repeated over and over, I don’t buy many clothes unless I encounter having to change size, or to replace something I’ve worn throw. My question is how do you reduce your clothing consumption around forced purchase and change circumstances such as these?
I'm so glad you think so! The growth factor is very key to my own survival in all this, too!
