Welcome to The Regenerators.
Introduction
Clothes are important. They keep us dry and protect our skin from the sun. We wear different clothes to look smart, to blend in, and to stand out!
Making, moving and washing clothes uses land, water and energy. It also causes pollution.
But there are ways to get the clothes we need without harming the environment.
You've got a message!
It's Daz calling… from the future! He has an important message about taking care of your clothes and being smart about what you wear.
Daz: Hey people in the past. It's your pal Daz here again saying thanks for being smart about what you wear.
Did you know clothes grow on plants? Well, not really but some of them kind of do because cotton does. Cotton is used to make clothes - and one cotton t-shirt needs about 2700 litres of fresh water to make. That's about the amount of water you drink in the next five years.
But you realised we can't keep using all that fresh water when there's drinks to make and food to grow. So the smart thing you did was you bought less new clothes and when your clothes got damaged you got them repaired. Or you got super smart and fixed them yourself.
I'm making a fancy dress costume at the moment, I'm down here getting here materials for it. Apparently some people in your day bought whole outfits just to wear once and then never again.
Clothes were made. Oh, hi!
