I'm going to do two posts this week because why not? Now I like most of the population have become intrigued by the rapper/dj Macklemore (yes this is relevant)! And his big hit is Thrift Shop, where he talks about the reasons to shop at second hand stores. He mentions the fact that paying "$50 for a tee-shirt" is ridiculous and that you can look just as good in hamydowns. BUT did you know that shopping thrift stores and even antique stores is environmentally friendly as well?? WHAT?!? Yep it's true! Buying clothes and other items from secondhand shops is a great way to reduce your footprint on our lovely earth. The reason is that you are not promoting new clothes, furniture, dishes, etc. to be made. Therefore you are not promoting new toxins and waste being put into the environment.
Now I know what you are all thinking "but those clothes won't be as cute as new fashions!" Well I challenge you to make them cute! Check out this blog and then tell me thrift store clothes can't be cute!

So shop your local thrift stores and antique stores! You are helping the environment and supporting local business which is great from the economy!
