Recycling is the last thing you should do…
Because before that we should try to Reduce (only buy what we need), Repair (fix things that still have life in them) or Re-use (share or give away) and only Recycle when an item has truly worn out beyond use.
As our minds are turning to Christmas, at Countryside Ski & Climb we thought now is a good time to echo this message from Patagonia’s Common Threads Initiative. When it comes to clothing, only buy what you need, buy good quality so it lasts and seek out garments that have a broad spectrum of use in mixed weather. Oh, and have fun doing it!
