That's according to the European Clothing Action Plan. And the clothes and shoes we wear (and throw away) can cause a huge problem for the planet.

By re-thinking about how we buy, look after and get rid of our clothes, we can help reduce the environmental impact caused by the fashion industry.

Hear from Zaqiya Cajee, founder of , a non-profit organisation to help teens to run clothes swaps at schools, as well as Nayan and Alicia on how you can stay stylish and get the most out of your clothes - especially when on a budget!

Get some top tips from young people making a difference with what they choose to wear.

Buy second-hand

One person鈥檚 trash is another person鈥檚 treasure. There are many reasons why people give their clothes to a charity shop or sell the ones they no longer want. It could be because they no longer fit, that they don鈥檛 suit the owner anymore鈥 or maybe they鈥檝e got too many clothes!

You can find amazing second-hand pieces at bargain prices in charity shops. They often sell clothes which are made of fibres like cotton or wool, which are better for the environment.

Rewear your clothes as much as possible

The most planet-friendly clothes are the ones you already have. You鈥檇 be really surprised at how easy it is to put new outfits together using the clothes you already own.

So, before tossing out any old clothes or leaving them to gather dust in the back of your closet, why not see how you can mix and match what you have?

Swap clothes with your friends

If you want to get rid of your clothes in a sustainable way, then swapping the garments you don鈥檛 want with your friends is a great idea.

Zaqiya says that swapping with your friends is a great way to experiment with your style and get amazing clothes that doesn鈥檛 cost the earth.

Rediscover your wardrobe

Here鈥檚 a fun challenge: try on all of the clothes you own 鈥 not all together, obviously!

If there are items you haven鈥檛 worn in months (or years) but still fit you and make feel good, place them at the top of your drawers or hang them somewhere visible so you wear them more.

Doing this may also teach you about the kinds of clothes you wear the most and help you decide how to expand your wardrobe wisely.
