In December 2018 Dan Lawson from the UK and Mick Thwaites in Australia launched the idea to share our efforts at buying no new sports clothes for a year.

They started a support group where people who committed to the plan could exchange tips, successes and failures on their #nothingnewforayear journey.

“300,000 tonnes of clothing are thrown away each year. 100 million barrels of oil are pulled from our Earth each day to meet consumer’s supposed demands.
We at ReRun believe that we need to stop this craziness! There are many ways we can become more sustainable and cutting down on our consumer habits is one of them,” Dan wrote.
