Through World Environment Day, the United Nations Environment Programme is able to personalize environmental issues and enable everyone to realize not only their responsibility, but also their power to become agents for change in support of sustainable and equitable development.

World Environment Day is also a day for people from all walks of life to come together to ensure a cleaner, greener and brighter outlook for themselves and future generations. Everyone counts in this initiative, and World Environment Day relies on you to make this happen. USAgain brings you the facts on textile waste and its environmental impact in the infographic below.  Let’s pledge to reduce waste by simple acts of reuse and recycling.
