The Green Quote: Thandie Newton Is A Recycled Clothing Gal
Filed under: fashion — michael @ 9:56 am
“It is grotesque how out of control manufacturing has become, and the excess, the pollution that’s caused by it. Vintage (clothing) is not only glorious and stylish, it’s also the way forward in terms of recycling. Whenever I go into great vintage stores, I wonder why we ever buy new things.”
—Actress Thandie Newton in a recent interview with USA TODAY
[Ed Note: You can also check out the letter Thandie wrote several actors and actresses urging them to dump their SUVs in favor of smaller vehicles. It was written about two years ago, but still has some great info — and also shows off her passion for the environment. The note was sent to Jamie Oliver, Chris Martin, Michael Jackson, Mel Gibson, Charlize Theron, Madonna, David Beckham, Wayne Rooney and her Mission Impossible II co-star Tom Cruise.]
