New California law mandates fashion industry to take old clothes back for free

Is this gonna make everything more expensive for the consumer? That’s my question

[aftertheheadlines]

Newsom signed a bill so a woman who donated $1 million against his recall could keep the VIP bar open until 4:00am. They only bar in the state allowed to do stay open until 4:00am.

Right to Repair- the right to use non HP ink cartridges in my HP printer and save consumers money- nope. He’ll never do that. Help his friends and tax the people.

How about donating to schools for kids whose parents can't afford nice things for them or homeless people. Showing compassion will do some good, not everything should be about making money.

More communist laws from Gavin & state representative.

So, instead of stores donating unwanted clothes to third-world countries…clothing manufacturers will have to take all unsold clothes back?

There is a documentary here on YouTube about the clothing being sent to TWC and it’s really horrible and heartbreaking. It has overtaken the land in one of the islands. I would absolutely be on board with a solution but I can’t envision the stores taking back old clothes, unless they open second hand stores themselves. Even then, they would have to give away these used items because there’s just too much of it. And if they were to give them away, people will take advantage and open makeshift garage sales every weekend…which is also a problem.

I've worked in retail (and obviously Gavin Newsom never has) 'cos stores don't have room for this!

[kittywhiskerz]

This is why I buy on Poshmark, Depop, eBay and Mercari!

Well I guess Gavin is gonna try to push more companies out of CA.

Has anyone told you that you look like a really young Ronald Reagan?😮

[oijtjvv]

When is he going away we need another governor what is he doing now with this nonsense

[MKultraAssassin]

This is actually good for the environment

Excuse me while I hand you the clothes I walked in wearing -

[amyochoa]

Wow! This sounds so hateful. No wonder our youth have bad attitudes, foul language, disrespect teachers, they have adults to mimic. Just don't cry for your kid if something happens to him.

[amyochoa]

And that's the US. Wasteful!! But we criticize other countries and they're poor and don't have the funds to open thrift stores. How embarrassing!!!

[Anniefawesome]

Good you make junk clothes that don't last, now you gotta take them back!

[HelloWorld-hbrt]

This guys is so dumb, I swear can’t believe he is still in office

[Sentarry]

Wow, piles of clothing? I'd rather walk around half naked if that wasn't considered indecent exposure 😂
Now we're suffering a used-clothing crisis? 👕
Newsom, if you have a bright idea about reusing clothes, it better be about making them more bio-degradable.

You know what This is incredible and California paves away for a lot of things that the rest of the world does and I love living here because of it

[jeanniestegner]

Nasty. No way. No immigrant hand me downs.
