Ever heard of the 80/20 rule? Let @chingonathreads break it down for y’all- cue the music 🎶 Globally, 80% of discarded textiles are doomed for landfill or incineration. 😱 Only 20% of clothing donations are actually kept at thrift store drops offs. 👀 The clothing that DOES NOT SELL within a certain time span, ends up in landfills to make room for New incoming donations . These garments can sit there for 200-plus years, and as it decomposes, it emits methane—a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon. 😨 wild right? According to “remake our world” article 🌎 much of what we donate gets packed, shipped, and re-sold overseas or gets dumped in landfills as a result of excessive clothing intake. 💚 CHINGONA THREADS RESCUES THE REMAINING 60% before they are shipped out to landfill 🙏🏽 We •source •wash •steam •style •model & share them online for other vintage enthusiasts to enjoy & savor. 👚 We do our best to source the best pre-loved biodegradable natural fabrics: 🧵 • cotton • linen • silk • leather To maintain a high quality lifecycle of your new sustainable garments. 📢 Our hope is to encourage folks To become a conscious consumer by shopping with intentionality ♻️ May your wardrobe bloom in vintage apparel 🌻 while ethically reducing greenhouse gases that destroy the planets crop development 🌎 ———————————— What era of vintage do you hunt for?
