Chini, don't throw it away!

I have been talking to myself this phrase for many years, even decades). I can’t calmly take and throw the thing only because it is slightly outdated, broke or leaked. I will definitely save her, fixing it. And I read it all the way, patches can appear as necessary.

Look - my "new" old gloves. In winter, I go to them on a bike, I got them from my sister many years ago. But time is inexorably - any thing, even strong ski gloves, will begin to bloom at the seams or wipe.

The problem is that you can’t sew on the typewriter - I had to manually check each finger. I know that such a style is not suitable for many - people simply do not see the point of investing so much effort, energy, soul and time to fix the old. It is much easier to earn on new ones, and just throw old things ...

In addition, many products have now become very inexpensive, especially on marketplace on the Internet, where you can find huge discounts. People save and, of course, it is easier for them to completely update the wardrobe than to think about some kind of leaked gloves. We are used to throwing everything out without even thinking about nature.

By the way, synthetic things can lie in the trash for many years, even decades. After all, these fibers are much durable than natural fabrics (such as wool, linen, cotton) that decompose in nature for the first few years without a trace - but even they are able to harm if the cotton is grown using aggressive fertilizers, chemicals, and for the colors they used harmful dyes that also poison the soil. Remember, I told you that the fashion industry is in third place in harm done by nature? - I was wrong.

The fashion industry takes the second place in terms of pollution and environmental impact. The first place is confidently occupied by the coal industry.

I saved these gloves from garbage for at least another year. Let me look funny, but my soul is pure. By the way - besides the fact that I saved gloves, I also got rid of the scraps of a raincoat, from which I sew eco -bacquili)) I do not throw away colored small pieces of fabrics - as you can see, even it can be beneficial.
