Don't shop it, swap it!

Every year 2 million tonnes of fashion items are bought in the UK and 900 million pieces of clothing and fashion accessories are thrown away. That’s a lot of stuff.

All this consumer madness is helping to drive climate change, and it’s the world’s poorest people who are feeling the brunt of it.

On the 25th April Oxfam supporters across the UK are getting creative, having a laugh, and doing their bit to encourage people to freshen up their wardrobes without adding to the mountain of stuff we chuck away.

Get your mates together to hold a Swap It party. Whether it’s clothes, bags, CDs or video games, it’s simple – people bring stuff, swap stuff and help change stuff.
