    According to the article Australians are the worst in the world for clothing waste, on average buying 56 clothing items per person per year. That is fucking insane. I would say on average I buy maybe two clothing items per year. In my poverty time there were many years where that number was zero.

    Does anyone have worldwide data on these stats?

          Hope you’re not wearing those bras, they go bad and it’s terrible support.

          Depending on the size, wonderful to repurpose as rat hammocks, light-hearted siege engines or yarmulkes though
