Another worry is that good causes are losing out as people trade rather than donate unwanted clothes. One concern is that mainstream brands may “greenwash” – using relatively small volumes of secondhand goods to improve their image, rather than engaging more seriously with sustainability.
But the shift is only a partial solution. (It takes 1,800 gallons of water to grow enough cotton for a pair of jeans). Others have become queasy at working conditions in factories, or the impact of their shopping habit on the planet. Asda announced last week that it will sell secondhand clothing in 50 supermarkets, following a successful pilot project.įor some buyers and sellers, the switch to secondhand is born of pandemic-induced financial need. Selfridges already has a vintage channel. Cos, owned by H&M, has launched a resale service on its website. Strikingly, it has become big enough business that mainstream retailers want a slice of the action. Busy families sell cast-off items on eBay, teenagers trade on Depop and fashionistas offer designer labels on Vestiaire Collective. It was once worn out of necessity, then it became the quirky choice of Jarvis Cocker-style misfits and the label of “vintage” gave it cachet. At fashion website Asos, vintage sales have risen 92%. Yet a gradual revival of the secondhand trade has gathered pace in the last year. Clothes Aid reports that 350,000 tonnes of used but still wearable clothing goes to landfill in the UK each year. The average British customer buys four items a month, often at pocket-money prices though the low cost is a godsend for the hard-up, many purchases are discarded after a few outings, or never worn at all. That model is almost incomprehensible in the era of fast fashion. They travel downwards from grade to grade in the social scale with remarkable regularity,” wrote the journalist Adolphe Smith in 1877 as he traced a garment’s journey: cleaned, repaired and resold repeatedly eventually cut down into a smaller item finally, when it was beyond all wearability, the fibres recycled into new fabric for the wealthier classes. I think it's impressive that a small studio managed to make this game, and without a lot of bugs (compared to some other projects in the past year.) It's a shame that the design of the game makes what little bugs there are into huge issues, and Housemarque's Twitter rep seems to be a little tone deaf, but hey, shit happens.“F ew articles change owners more frequently than clothes.
#Returnal 1.003.006 Patch#
So I'm just patiently waiting for another patch while I enjoy RE8 and Stellaris. While I did enjoy the game, I've seen lots of people say the crashing and bugs have only gotten more common since 1.3.6, and frankly I would probably lose all interest in it if I crashed or glitched again. I managed to get to the end of Biome 2 in my third run, but died being cocky in a survival room. I also had the game crash in my first encounter with Phrike, which definitely left a sour impression. Had the suit glitch in my first run, stopping me from accessing anything including the ship had to keep restarting until I spawned inside it. I've only had two bugs, but I've also not been playing since 1.3.4.
