Currently the textiles industry operates in a line

Currently the textiles industry operates in a linear fashion: largely non-renewable resources are extracted to produce clothes that are often used for only a short time, after which the materials are mostly sent to landfill or incinerated. The average person throws away 37 kilograms of textiles each year, and 95% of those clothes could be reused or recycled.

So how can we reduce textile waste and support a circular economy?
- Say goodbye to fast fashion!
- Buy less and thrift often
- Treat your fabrics right - follow wash and dry instructions and only wash what is dirty
- Support brands that pledge sustainability - do your research to avoid green washing.

Food never tastes better than when you are camping or hiking! I guess there is much to feast on visually, auditorily, olfactory-wise...it is a banquet of riches being in the outdoors in #GeorgianBay.

This photo was taken on a breakfast date with the 30,000 Islands. Anne Neary was kayaking heaven on the south shore of Philip Edward Island.

Love #GeorgianBay. Visit www.gbf.org to learn about programs that work with you to protect the water.

Water and rocks. It seems simple - but it is so beautiful and quite complex. And, it is changing from pollution and climate change.

We thank Anne Neary, a GBF director, for this stunning picture taken by of Philip Edward Island, #GeorgianBay, #Killarney.

Let's strive to not forget this beauty that gives us so much - let's not forget it when there are hard everyday choices about the way we live that impact this beauty.

Work with us to keep the water clean.
