It is clear that the production and consumption habits that we currently maintain are not sustainable in the long term and are compromising the planet's ability to regenerate its resources. What is not yet obvious is exactly how we can change the system. Some initiatives, both independent ( The Story of Things ) and corporate ( Patagonia 's famous " don't buy this jacket " ), have tried to imagine what a world would be like in which acquiring new things was not an everyday activity. One of the most recent is Sharewear, created in Sweden. The project was created by VisitSweden , the country's official portal, and the Swedish Institute cultural center and consists of inviting Swedish brands to donate clothing and accessories that citizens could choose their favorite through Instagram, at no cost, as You just need to be the first to comment.
The trick? that those who keep each product must commit to putting it back into circulation, through their own Instagram account, a week later. The idea is that Swedes, who throw away 8 kilos of clothing a year, begin to think about their clothing consumption differently. The system of putting back into circulation what Bahamas Mobile Number List we no longer use and thus obtaining new elements is good both for saving money and for beginning to reduce the production of new objects, which will inevitably become an environmental burden for the world. So far, the project has been a success, and thanks to the hashtag #sharewear and the official portal you can see that the garments have reached various parts of Europe and even Oceania and South America.

Se This is not the only way to use the internet to share clothes, there are social networks dedicated exclusively to it, such as Depop and on sites like eBay it is possible to find everything from vintage items to the latest collections. What makes Sharewear different is that there is no exchange of money and it is a government initiative to communicate with its citizens and find new ways of doing things. In addition, the fact that the products available come from cool brands is another attraction. Nor is it a final solution that will have a direct, measurable impact on the fast fashion industry or the way we shop. It is just an idea that proposes to reflect on our habits and explore how we can modify them so that consuming more intelligently becomes the norm.
