But we're increasingly becoming aware that buying a $20 t-shirt that won't last the distance isn't that great for the environment.
While some of us are pledging to only buy second hand or to invest in statement pieces - more expensive items that will last a long time- not all of us have that luxury.
We're wanting to speak to someone who isn't giving up their fast fashion any time soon, whether it's for economic or style reasons, personal choice or indifference to the environment. Maybe you're a student who likes the choice chain store fashion brings, or perhaps you're a parent whose children are growing too fast to risk splashing out on expensive clothing.

Are flies & insects driving you crazy this summer?

My beautiful boy, Sonic was last seen on the evening of 21 Dec, it is incredibly unusual for him to go missing for this long. Can you please be on high alert for him and check any buildings / sheds / garages that he may have got into? I am frantic about my little buddy 😿😿
Sonic is only just 5 years old; white & grey; male; polydactyl; chipped; desexed; no collar; timid/nervous.
He has gone missing from the Mercade Close area of Stratford - at the end of Pembroke Road, down past the Golf Course.
Please contact me if you sight him - 02787-22309 (Jan)
