Klothlifestyle on recycling used clothing and recycling plastic into fabrics.
Week 6
Placed by Cherry Goh 2021/Nov/7
On the 2nd of November, I've invited Adelyn from Klothlifestyle to share about her organization's effort in helping to combat climate change. This organization actively participates in recycling old fabrics, clothings, shoes and etc. It has also started to recycle plastic materials into fabrics. On this day, we've learned that Malaysians dispose of few hundred tonnes of clothing per year and it is indeed polluting the environment. The main problem about these discarded fabrics is that they are made of microfibre which is actually plastic. And, when they reach the ocean, marine animals will feed on these microfibre. As a result, we are also ingesting plastic from our food.
My students were also asked to prepare slides on how they are helping to reduce food waste, reduce water pollution and reduce plastic pollution. In summary of this project, I think my students are more aware of the many causes, factors, effects and solutions for climate change. This project is very educational and has helped to create awareness amongst my students.
