Why does Exeter need a clothes swap?!</span><br /><br />A. Lots of reasons:<br /><ul><li>Environmental - In the UK we throw away 1 million tonnes of old clothes and textiles each year. Over 7.5 billion articles of clothing go into our dustbins every year, with most ending up in landfill.</li></ul><ul><li>Social - A lot more friendly and interactive than trawling round High St Shops on a busy Saturday</li></ul><ul><li>Fun - You don't know what you'll find!<br /></li></ul><ul><li>Fashion - A great way to de-clutter and overhaul your wardrobe</li></ul><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2007/may/18/fashion.ethicalliving">here's an article with more info on clothes swapping</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6385324422017369924-5595458865400066516?l=exeterclothesswap.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>exeterclothesswaphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06030270832753868158noreply@blogger.com0
