  1. that will fix, what you really are

  2. I dont get how this is a solution

  3. This helps nothing. When people are done with it in the trash it goes. If people have this in home they will over use it and in the trash it goes .how about up cycle its what i do and fashion company should start to do the same reuse the fabrics reuse the clothes to make new its not hard and it cuts back on waste. Its honestly the best way.

  4. What these boys don't get is that the women in the household did the sewing of all clothes for the family. There was no 'getting your clothes tailored '. Only those that could afford it! Also, clothes were handed down and patched up.

  5. I haven't bought new clothes in 10 years and not because I'm lacking money for them. I never could understand why people were so obsessed with buying new clothes all the time. I have enough fabric from old clothes to make new ones for the rest of my life! Why would I throw money and fabric away on new junk that doesn't even last, and worse, is mostly made from skin-irritating plastics? Reuse! Reuse! Reuse! Stop being slaves to capitalism!!!!

  6. US junk mail is the worst polluter.

  7. How MANY More clothing companies do we need …Yikes!!!! You can only Wear so much clothes ……Put the MONEY & energy some place positive … Some place to do good for the country …. just my opinion ๐Ÿ˜Š

  8. And how will this prevent third world waste? Not to mention that giant plastic machine. People will just make a bunch of clothes they will never wear.

  9. LOL What a Load of Bovine Excrament. How.. Exactly, is making Single person, Custom fabrics at a moments notice, saving the climate from the existing Used clothing headed to the landfill? If the clothing he is creating only fits one person well.. what happens to that clothing? How about the fabric it would be replacing? . It all goes to a landfill. This is a defacto snake oil salesman. He is simply making More Waste with a fabricated stamp of "Environmentally friendly" on it. It's like thinking that Amazon is saving the environment by delivering 2 inch devises in a 6 inch boxes packed with one time use plastic with a 5 ton truck.. XD

  10. my go-to YouTuber, seriously, she just brings a big smile to my face ๐Ÿ˜„. My biggest wish for you, , is to keep rocking that happiness, staying energized, and keeping the positivity flowing ๐ŸŒŸ. You're awesome! ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฉท

  11. Not the reporter but the other guyโ€™s voice reminds me of Louis Lift (Rick Hoffman) from Suits (TVย Seriesย 2011โ€‘2019).

  12. I use to buy 3 t-shirts for $10 dollars downtown and peers in school use to make fun of me. This is better
