Thandie Newton has called on style icons to help the environment and urges them to buy secondhand clothing.

The environmentalist star believes in stocking her own wardrobe with recycled and stylish vintage clothes.

She says, “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.”

Think green. Buy someone else’s used junk. I’m all over it.
