Activities to reduce textile waste will have a significant social impact as well as emphasize the importance of waste minimization. The awareness of Sakarya Metropolitan Municipality (SMM) Social Store (The Second-Hand Store that citizens in need of assistance and registered under Department of Social Services can shop free of charge) will be improved. The store will be enriched with many kinds of textile products with the activities described below in 21-25 Oct. Thus, the number and pleasure of citizens in need of assistance will increase. The employees of SMM and educational institutions, the participants of educational institutions, students with their parents, but also citizens that attracted attention via introduction tools will attend to this project. Allowing products to be used to their fullest extent will conserve natural resources by decreasing the demand for new ones. Achievement of waste reduction will provide both social and environmental benefits via these activities at the week-long. Having a limited amount of natural resources and a limited capacity to generate waste, building a more sustainable future and our responsibilities for these points will be explained to the students. Planned actions will be introduced via social media, billboards, posters, etc. during the event week.
