E-waste, or the tossing of electronic items without repairing them, has become a real challenge for landfills and recycling companies around the world, as has ‘fast fashion’—the world of low-cost, kitchy, or single-use garments and textiles which have piled up in landfills.
If you find yourself frustrated with this kind of throwaway culture, perhaps it’s time to check if there’s a LoT near you.”
