“The saddest reality is that 30% of the clothes produced worldwide today are never sold. Now add to that the fact that up to 50% of food produced is never eaten—it simply gets thrown away. This should make you pause and reflect on one of the most disturbing examples of massive market inefficiency happening across every wealthy country—from the United States to Sweden (the home of H&M).” — Victoria Silchenko
