A day where we remind and encourage each and every one of us to reduce our use of fossil fuels in order to help take care of our planet. We\u2019ve made big steps the last month or so at <u><a href=\"http:\/\/tafia.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tafia.co.uk<\/a><\/u> and switched our manufacturing processes to renewable-energy powered factories.

This results in a dump truck full of textiles going straight to landfill, every second of the day. When you think about it, climate change is because of stuff like this. CO2 pollution occurs as part of the process of making things.<\/p><p>That's why we make things differently. Our products and packaging are made from natural materials, not plastic.\u00a0Every product we make is designed to be sent back when it is worn out - we make new products from the material recovered, so the cycle itself is renewable.<\/p><p>But what does this mean? <strong>350,000 tonnes<\/strong>, that's around \u00a3140 million worth of used but still wearable clothing goes to landfill in the UK every year.
