Thrift shopping at second-hand stores, consignment shops, rummage sales and online used-good directories is not just for environmentalists and hipsters, but a viable solution for anyone looking to go eco-friendly in small ways. When you buy secondhand, you are preventing wastage of energy and resources on the production of new clothes. It aids in water preservation and it helps in reducing the chemical pollution. Packaging material is also reduced, keeping plastic, paper and metal out of the waste stream. When you reuse or recycle clothes, you are decreasing the demand for production and encouraging sustainable practices. If you are someone with an eye for good deals, you can purchase high-quality items at Haven House thrift stores and help in saving the environment.
