The manufacturing of clothes is a major world industry. The clothes we wear allow us to express our individual styles and personalities. However, many of us do not realize all the natural resources, pesticides, labor, and pollution that go into creating your favorite looks. Fortunately, there are several ways you can be environmentally conscious while being a trend setter.

Increasingly today we see that what was once old and out of style is now “in” and hotter than ever. Shopping at vintage stores is beneficial to both the consumer and the environment. Taking advantage of vintage clothing allows you to get a stylish, original look for less. At the same time, the excess energy used and the pollution created during the manufacturing process is eliminated.

Don’t know what to do with your unwanted clothes? Well, recycling does not just apply to paper and plastic. Keeping unwanted clothes in circulation is simple and easy. Here are a few tips:

      Host a yard sale. It’s fun and it’s an easy way to make extra cash.

      Have a clothes swap. Invite your friends and family to bring all of their unwanted shoes and clothes over for exchange. If you change your mind, you can always borrow your items back.

      Be charitable. Take your clothes to your local Goodwill, Salvation Army, or a local church involved in distributing clothes to homeless people.

      Be creative. Turn your old items into quilts or cleaning rags.

Getting rid of old clothes does not have to be a hassle. Re-using and recycling is one of the easiest ways to save your world. Your junk is not just one persons treasure; it is the world’s treasure.
