Used Is the Greenest Clothing Of All
By Chris Baskind in The Daily Footstep
Open practically any fashion magazine or catalog, and you’ll see a line of eco-friendly clothing. But whether it’s organic cotton or bamboo fiber, even the greenest fabrics require vast amounts of precious water and energy to bring to market. Want to really rock some earth-friendly duds? Buy used. “Pre-loved” clothing is a home run in for Sustainability — and your budget. eBay may be the world’s largest secondhand clothing store. You’ll probably have some local options, too: Freecycle, secondhand boutiques, and thrift shops. Earn extra green points by organizing a clothing exchange with friends, family, or schools!
