In addition to that, clothes swapping also result in lower industry production of clothes which eventually decreases pollution. A large proportion of natural resources are used in the production of clothes. Billions of pieces of garments are wasted every year which then fills up landfills and causes air and land pollution. In addition to reducing pollution swapping clothes can also help in saving water. Clean drinking water is scarce. It is actually a luxury for people living in remote areas however in the industrialized countries 7000 litres of water is used in the production of a single pair of jeans. So when people shift from buying new clothes to swapping clothes, a lot of water is saved.
