Do you throw away a lot of clothes and, at the same time, continue buying more and more every week? There are much more sustainable ways to renew your wardrobe! The Environment volunteer group of the Fundació Autònoma Solidària (FAS) will hold a second-hand clothing exchange market.

The initiative seeks to raise awareness in the community about the serious environmental impacts of the fashion industry. Each European buys around 19 kg of clothes per year and throws away 16, which results in the emission of 159 million tonnes of CO₂ into the atmosphere.

Give your clothes a second life and help reduce this impact! If you leave your clothes at the FAS offices (at the Plaça Cívica from 10 am to 5 pm), you will receive a voucher to choose another garment on the day of the market completely free of charge. In the event that some people wish to buy without bringing clothes, all items will be priced at 1 euro on the day of the market.
