TYEE - GO GREEN! Initiative

​A brief introduction to GO GREEN! a new TYEE youth-led community initiative aims to encourage youth to incorporate their talents and skills for the betterment of the environment and their future by contributing to climate change through recycling of quality fashion clothes. 

GO GREEN! “our home, our future, our responsibility”

The GO GREEN! concept was developed around sustainability, affordability and waste reduction, with the intention to engage with the youth and our business customers, and encourage them to make ethical and sustainable fashion choices.

Through the GO GREEN! we want to offer an alternative to the youth in order to; develop a community spirit; reduce consumption and raise awareness of unethical consumer habits; provide quality and affordable fashion; promote alternative for youth practical work experience; foster creativity and new skills; while reducing the amount of clothing which ends up in landfill.
