The fashion industry is responsible for
1.92 million tons of waste EVERY YEAR.

A pile of clothes tossed on the ground.
A nondescript factory with dark smoke rising from the smoke stacks polluting the surrounding air.

FAST FASHION produces 10% of
all global carbon emissions.

This is projected to increase by
60% over the next six years.

Shopping at Hunts Thrift & Southern Thrift stores
keeps millions of items out of landfills.

We recycle all clothes that are too

worn to be resold.

Most clothing is only worn 7 - 10 times.
Wearing a piece of clothing for its
whole life cycle prevents the need
for new pieces to be made.

Making one pair of jeans requires
1,800 GALLONS of water.

It takes 400 GALLONS to produce
a single cotton t-shirt.
