FIRST,
THANK YOU to the folks who love to shop the latest fashions, making it possible for the new-to-you group to reuse discarded articles. The “other” category holds an element of intrigue. While one might assume these enterprising folks are simply making their sweaters and socks, there are other options. New ethical outdoor fashion trends and so-called eco-friendly outdoor retailers are on the rise, giving outdoor adventurers more options than ever before– plus an opportunity to lessen environmental impact.
