fashion mass producing pieces based on the latest catwalk trends these sell fast and are discarded just as quickly. but some people like jaded chong are doing their best to keep close in circulation for longer she and a friend started a close walking event several years ago. as we grow we actually influence more people to accept this concept of secondhand clothing. they charge $5.00 per person and everyone brings at least 5 items for swapping but is allowed to leave with as many pieces as they want so i think we should be recycling things much more we should be prolonging the value of these items more. another way clothes are kept out of the landfill is through recent. customers shopping at secondhand stores who often those who couldn't afford new items but as it's becoming trendy to be thrifty

seas like the baltic have been a buffer against climate change absorbing excess heat and carbon dioxide. but tests have shown that is surface water heats up oxygen from the atmosphere can no longer get through creating the deadly out beneath so sea floors that should be full of vegetation and life empty. it's one of the reasons cited in cases where thousands of dead fish have been washed up on beaches. solutions have been tested in the baltic such as a wave powered device to pump oxygen down below. a more low tech solution is here in a unesco wetland near the city of christian start. for this wetland means we hold water on land for longer before it reaches the sea so the vegetation can absorb fertiliser and pollutants and prevent algae blooms in the baltic so it's one part of the puzzle in preventing dead zones. some hope emerged last month in
