THANDIE NEWTON - NEWTON GOES GREEN BY BUYING VINTAGE CLOTHING

British actress THANDIE NEWTON has called on wannabe style icons to help the environment and buy secondhand clothing. The climate change-conscious Crash star believes in stocking her own wardrobe with recycled and stylish vintage wear. She says, "It is grotesque how out of control manufacturing has become, and the excess, the pollution that's caused by it. "Vintage (clothing) is not only glorious and stylish, it's also the way forward in terms of recycling. Whenever I go into great vintage stores, I wonder why we ever buy new things."
