Black Friday - Why we choose not to do it. We advocate and try helping our customers to buy products that they really need, instead of actively promoting compulsive shopping. 👇🏻

The South American nation of Chile is known worldwide for its incredible mountain ranges, but there is one mountain located in the Atacama desert which is different from the rest. The driest desert in the world is home to a mountain of discarded clothing, containing everything from Christmas sweaters to ski boots, as the pollution from the industry of fast fashion continues to grow.
The social impact of rampant consumerism in the clothing industry - such as the children forced to work in sweatshops or workers slaving away for paltry wages - is well-known, but the disastrous effect on the environment is less publicised.
Chile has long been a hub of secondhand and unsold clothing, made in China or Bangladesh and passing through Europe, Asia or the United States before arriving in Chile. Some 59,000 tons of clothing arrive each year at the Iquique port in the Alto Hospicio free zone in northern Chile, where it is bought by clothing merchants or smuggled across the border to other Latin American nations. But at least 39,000 tons that cannot be sold end up in rubbish dumps in the desert.
So much clothing arrives each year in Chile that the traders cannot hope to sell it, and no one is willing to pay the fees and tariffs required to have it transported elsewhere.
Alex Carreno, a former port employee who worked at the imports zone, said: 'This clothing arrives from all over the world. What is not sold to Santiago nor sent to other countries stays in the free zone'.
Whether the clothing piles are left out in the open or buried underground, they pollute the environment, releasing pollutants into the air or underground water channels. Clothing, either synthetic or treated with chemicals, can take 200 years to biodegrade and is as toxic as discarded tires or plastics.
