Bitter Grace - Impact Report

Bitter Grace has collected 480 pounds of clothing for SCRAP, saving the Earth…

  • ~ 1,700 pounds of CO2

  • ~2,880,000 litres of water

  • ~150 pounds of fertilizer

  • ~100 ounces of pesticides

These calculations are based on a model developed by The Gaia Movement, a webpage devoted to fighting climate change. They reference studies by https://uffnorge.org/ and the International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment to determine the positive environmental impact of donating your clothing (instead of sending it to the landfill) and putting that clothing to productive use (rather than producing more clothing).
