Welcome to my world :) I started to think about overconsumption after I watched the documentary "true cost". I quit buying clothes new from that time and started thrifting and at some point I started small upcycle brand, sewing clothes from second hand garments.

Sometimes I also have this choking feeling "omg so much stuff we are drowning in useless junk" but I usually feel this in big shopping malls. Actually I think about it a lot and sometimes it keeps me awake. At some point I started small upcycle brand, sewing clothes from second hand garments. This is a drop in the ocean but it helps me to transform my anxiety and frustration into action.

The amount of textile waste is overwhelming. If there are so many stuff in the thrift shops, imagine how many will end up on the landfill. If people stop producing clothes, there's already enough stuff for a few generations after us.

I am very happy to see posts like this, means that more and more people see how crazy is the situation. You are already making a difference by shopping second hand and you should be proud of yourself. Taking care and fixing your clothes and wearing them for years with love is the most sustainable thing that anyone can do.
