Lucy Siegle has a great video over at The Guardian’s eco section showing how to recycle your clothes more effectively. Yup, she’s even got uses for those laddered tights and worn-out bras. Does anyone else have any tips for clearing out your closet? Perhaps take them to a swapping party? Or snip too-small tops into scarves?
Look at these gorgeous creations. I’m not sure how environmentally friendly they really are (are they organic? Have they been sprayed with evil presticides? Was any Columbian rainforest cut down to grow the plants?) but just look at the juicy colours and the wet-look texture - they look good enough to eat!
