Today’s Tip from The Green Year: 365 Small Things You Can Do to Make a Big Difference: Plan a clothing swap.
“Invite your friends over to swap the gently used clothes you no longer wear. You’ll be able to “shop” for a new-to-you wardrobe and do your part to keep clothes from going to the landfill.
Over 4 million tons of all waste sent to the landfill is clothing and textiles. Synthetic fibers don’t decompose, which means the polyester shrit you wore as a senior in high school will still be sitting in the landfill when you are a senior citizen.”
Have you ever been to a clothing swap or organized one yourself? Was it successful? I image it would be a fun girls get together!
