EU Commission: "Our proposals will ensure that by 2030, all textile products placed on the EU market are long-lived and recyclable and produced in respect of social rights and the environment."

Please remind: NEVER listen or even believe an announcement of ANY government or any other executive political institution beginning by: "Our proposals will ensure ..."

Even if they honestly mean it, they won't have the power to ensure it!

This is a Target backpack that I refashioned into a purse-sized one. I shortened it by quite and added a bright lining. #ReFashionNow #upcycling #SewingBags
