Clothing production <br />is very resource —intensive, and only 15% of clothing is <br />recycled or donated, the rest winds up in landfills. Here <br />are some tips to approach clothing more sustainably: <br />1. Buy less, and keep your clothes longer. Keep a <br />notebook or mark on the tag whenever you wear a <br />piece of clothing to track what you wear most, and <br />invest in pieces that outlast seasonal trends. <br />2. Learn how to make simple repairs! Our local I <br />community center, Anpetu Teca, offers beginning <br />sewing lessons in their adult education program. A popped button or ripped seam <br />can be repaired, giving that piece of clothing many more wears) <br />3. Purchase clothing made from natural fabrics. Polyester is cheap, but also re- <br />leases microplastics into our water with each wash. <br />4. Take good care of your clothes —while convenient, dryers are hard on clothing <br />and cause premature wear. Dry your favorite pieces on a drying rack or clothes <br />line to extend their life. <br />PWET Commission meeting —Zero Waste Discussion <br />When: Tuesday, August 23rd, 6:30pm <br />Where: Roseville City Hall, 2660 Civic Center Drive, or <br />Virtual <br />Our Public Works, Environment, and Transportation (PWET) <br />Commission will be discussing ways to reduce waste from <br />takeout containers and plastic bags at their upcoming August <br />meeting.
