DESCRIPTION:Go Green for St. Patty's Day with EcoMaine!Fast fashion h
 as transformed the way we buy, wear, and discard clothing — and it has b
 ecome one of the largest drivers of textile waste worldwide. In the U.S. a
 lone, 11.3 million tons of textiles are landfilled each year, representing
  86% of discarded textiles and nearly 6% of the municipal solid waste stre
 am. Unlike paper, glass, or metal, textiles are complex and difficult to r
 ecycle. Blended fabrics, chemical treatments, fast-changing trends, and th
 e labor-intensive nature of sorting and processing all present significant
  challenges. In this engaging presentation with ecomaine, explore the envi
 ronmental impacts and drivers of fast fashion, the challenges of recycling
  textiles, and practical steps you can take to reduce clothing waste throu
 gh smarter purchasing, reuse, and repair.
