Day 326: Exchange

I recently wrote about the pointlessness of Fashion and today I read on article on the environmental impact of the clothing industry. (It creates 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions and 120 Million trees are cut down every year to make clothing).  I wonder if it would be possible to set up clothing exchanges (ClothEx).  You would be able to take any surplus clothing as long as it was clean and still in good condition to your local ClothEx and you would then have the right to pick an equivalent amount of clothing then or later. If the ClothEx concept went international you could also use it to travel light.  Drop off some clothes in Paris and you would be allowed to pick up clothes in Los Angeles. And vice versa. The shops and personnel could be financed by either a subscription fee or some kind of sponsoring.  We need to reduce greenhouse gases by 50% by 2030 in order to limit global warming to 1.5°C.  If ClothEx halved the clothing industry that would be 10% of our goal.
