That equates to roughly 2\,150 pieces of clothing per second. Synthetic fabrics used in fast fashion account for one-fifth of all the plastic produced globally\, exposing us to forever chemicals and filling the oceans with microplastics. The average American only wears a garment 7-10 times before throwing it away. Only a very small percentage of discarded clothing is re-used or recycled. \nJoin us as we explore the effects of fast fashion on the environment and vulnerable populations on a global scale. There are ways each of us can shop smarter\, lengthen the life of our clothes and commit to brands who put the welfare of their employees and the planet first. Educate yourself with our expert panel and learn ways to make your closet fashion forward and planet friendly. \nMeet the Panelists: \nSandra Finkelstein – Creative and Strategic Fashion Brand Leader New York\, NY\nGrace Lanning – Denim & Childrenswear Designer\nSharon Sobel – President of the Turnover Shop of Wilton\, Inc\nSavona Bocchino – WHS Green Team President\, Class of 2025 \nRead panelists bios here https://wiltongogreen.org/upcoming-events/ \nAttendees can enter a drawing the night of the event for a chance to win a private shopping party with 9 friends at the Turnover Shop!
