More and more people are having difficulty affording the necessities to survive and thrive in their lives and depend on shelters, food banks, and government supports.
On the other hand, fast fashion, excessive consumerism and inefficient supply channels send an abundance of goods into the landfill.
For example, 1.3 billion tons of food, 92 million tons of textiles, and 9 million tons of furniture are thrown out every year.
