7x’s you can recycle plastic .♻️ Fast fashion isn’t bad if you as the consumer wear/use the item multiple times. Often appliances are made to not be repaired, thank goodness for my husband’s handiness to extend the life of ours… Clothes are so much less expensive, classical and full of life if you buy secondhand!
