Announcement 1
Please do not forget to bring at least one article of clothing to swap at xPression! Please bring as many items as you wish, but please remember, they should be clean (recently washed) and pretty nice looking so that other people might want them. The main purpose of the swapping is NOT to get rid of your old tired clothes, but to become creative, reduce consumption, become more conscious about fashion, find a lovely home to your precious garment, and have fun at the same time! Also don't forget to secretly bring an extra bag, so that you can bring home as many new items as you wish!
Any left over items will be donated to Fiber Recycle Network (FRN) in Kanagawa. ( jimfiber.ld.infoseek.co.jp) FRN selects useful items and send them to the needed people in asian countries. The rest will be used either for clothes to clean up machineries or recycled for sponges in car trunks. So none of the items you bring in will be wasted!
Announcement 2
Please bring your own cups, plates, spoon, chopsticks. A little bit of action is a beginning of a bigger movement.
