#GIVINGFORGOOD Project
Did you know that the average American throws away 81 pounds of clothes per year? Globally, only 20% of textiles are recycled or reused, which leaves 26 billion pounds of clothing going to landfills each year worldwide, the majority of which are made of non-biodegradable, synthetic material.
To create awareness of environmental issues like these, we are excited to share our #GivingforGood project. This project was initiated by our Women’s Federation for World Peace International Senior Vice President Sun Jin Moon, as she felt strongly compelled to do something to preserve our planet and care for the well-being of our future generations. And as we are spending much more time at home due to Covid-19, it gives us the opportunity to spend quality time with our families to sort through our belongings, and to find new homes for our items to be truly treasured.
By participating in the #GivingforGood project, you help spread awareness of these issues, while encouraging sustainable practices, such as buying and selling secondhand. It also serves as an avenue to raise money for yourself at this crucial time, and to support the work of Women’s Federation for World Peace USA with a donation of your choice.
Although this project can be carried out on any day, we invite you to join our #GivingforGood community launch party by posting your items for sale on May 15, 2020. See the How-To Guide below to join in. Together, we can break the cycle of over-consumption and pollution of the earth!
