how-to of the day: recycled reversible T-shirt totebag
Earth Day is coming up right away (April 22nd) and in honor of that, I’m going to show you how to make a reversible totebag using a t-shirt.
Did you know that fabric accounts for big proportion of landfill space these days? Apparently, some counties in California have as much as 800 tons of fabric thrown into the garbage every year! That’s 800 tons for one county - not just a state… And to top that off, fabric doesn’t decompose easily, so it’s going to be sitting around for a long time.
What can we do? Well, you can do things like use old clothing to make new things - like totebags!
I’ll show you the how-to in my next post - see you soon :-)
