Don't throw that holey sock away

Saving money, reducing your waste and reuse can go hand-in-hand or rather toe-to-toe.

Let me introduce you to the newest YouTube "sensation" - How to darn a sock.
Okay it's not getting as many hits as the latest X-Factor pop-tart but 21,998 views isn't bad.

Go here to see the video.

Seriously though all clothes come with an impact on the environment, including their carbon footprint and their waste footprint. By repairing a perfectly serviceable sock you are not only saving money but lowering your impact on the planet.

Still don't believe that socks have a major impact. The factory town of Datang in China, alone produces nine billion pairs of socks each year.
