Question

“Every second, the equivalent of a dump truck’s worth of clothing is thrown out worldwide.” Does that statistic surprise you? Why or why not? *

Answer 1

Yes, because it shows that humans toss aside potentially helpful materials at an alarming rate, and it also shows the amount of waste that could otherwise go to people in need.

Answer 2

I would say this, “Yes, I am surprised by this because that is a very large amount of clothing that is just going to waste and isn’t being used. Throwing out that much clothing is harming the environment, especially when the clothes could go to people in need.”
