Clothes :: stains, environment and waste

I've been rather lazy regarding my blog, I apologise and will try to update it more regularly. I find when I'm not in a routine that I get lazy and now I start a job tomorrow I will have more structure in my life.

So in my latest video I show you just how dirty my t-shirt got whilst I was away travelling and explain why it happened.

I would wash my clothes every night by hand, with soap, but some stains just will never come out and I think that's very possible with the clothes I wore in South East Asia.

Also, I believe that the more you wear something and the more worn it becomes, the more unlikely it is to scrub up new. 

This has got me questioning everything I ever thought about clothes though. When should you throw something in the bin? When should you decide it's unwearable? We have so much waste in the World already and I really want to stop being so wasteful, but if you look at that top I would be judged in the street for being "dirty" even though this had been washed and ironed!

I have so much to contemplate regarding clothes that I could easily spend the next few weeks researching and debating these issues regarding the environment, social and economic impacts. 

What would you do?
