I would argue that point because... But you get suntan lotion on it.

But there is some amazing, like even content creators out there, you know, explaining how to actually clean your clothes properly.

But also people complain about, you know, fast fashion being bad quality.

I would say maybe the construction of it is not amazing, but actually the fabric most of the time is made from polyester and that is actually going to outlive us.

Yeah.

Yeah, so depressing, I know.

But polyester doesn't biodegrade.

Well, it biodegrades after maybe 200 to 400 years.

And it only became into existence in the 1920s, 1930s.

So they can't even tell for certain how long it's actually going to take to biodegrade this.

So that's a startling fact to remember, that most of our wardrobe is actually going to be there after we're gone.

So I just think it's so important that whatever we have, we share, we reuse.

We also repair and, you know, learn how to upcycle something or even just, you know, pass it on to someone else who might be enjoying, who might enjoy this piece a bit more.

You know, I'm all the time sharing my wardrobe with my mother, my friends, my cousins, everybody.

And I just think that that's so important.

And it actually brings people together as well.

Absolutely.

There's no such thing as throwing something away.

It goes somewhere.

And unfortunately, you know, in Ireland, we might not see the effects of that.
