New Delhi: Actor Alia Bhatt comes up with ‘Mi Wardrobe is Su Wardrobe’ (MiSu), a wardrobe-sharing initiative, wherein garments and shoes from actor and fellow eco-warriors will be available for purchase online at reasonable rates. Urging people to adopt sustainable fashion and consider recycling and upcycling of garments, Alia Bhatt shared a short video on her social media and said, “Cleaner and greener future for all. Let’s all pledge for #FashionForACause.”
Sharing some facts, the actor further added, “Recycled or upcycled textiles make a huge difference to the environment. If a garment is worn for 9 months more, the impact of manufacturing new clothes as replacements would be dramatically reduced. As a result, related carbon dioxide emissions would decrease by more than one-fourth, water use by one-third and waste by more than one-fifth.”
