📣🌟 A massive well done to Sustainable Wareham who have recycled 1357 bras since May 2021 through the bra bank at Bare Necessities Wareham in aid of breast cancer research and small businesses in developing countries in Africa.
And what happens to them once these worn out bras are worn out there - they end up as landfill. Africa shouldn't be used to dump our stuff and we mustn't offshore our rubbish - sorry!
