Minimising for good.
Channel your inner Marie Kondo, do a wardrobe purge and spark joy for someone else.
Despite being in lockdown and not shopping for six months, are you faced with the paradox of never having anything to wear, all the while battling an overflowing wardrobe that resembles a scene from 27 Dresses? Don’t worry, it’s a familiar scene for a lot of us.
If you’re anything like the rest of us, you’ll probably donate it to one of the thousands of clothing bins or charity shops across the globe. But is this really the most sustainable option, or could your generosity be doing more harm than good?
It’s been reported that Australia is now the second largest consumer of textiles worldwide, just behind North America. This dubious honour is even more concerning given that the textile industry is the second most polluting after petroleum and that our main method of textile disposal is landfill.
I have an easy feel good solution for you.

Over the past 12 months, I have been working with Gold Coast Project for Homeless Youth (GCPHY). Their mission is to encourage young people to reach their full potential by providing quality services in a safe and supportive environment.
Beyond providing just a bed or housing, they also support young people through their education and an environment for positive change in young people’s lives - ultimately breaking the cycle of homelessness.
