Support Small Business -- Shop Sustainably

-- Shopping secondhand reduces the demand for new clothes and,

in turn, slows down the production of new apparel.

                -- Pre-loved clothes get a second life in a new closet instead                        of being buried in a landfill.

-- Supporting vintage can make a big difference in the fashion industry's environmental impact.

• About 85% of textile waste in the United States goes into landfills or is incinerated. That's a dumpster full of textiles every second.
