recycling |
Recycling is a big part of conservation, and for the most part that evokes
images of green an blue bins full of glass and plastic bottles. But what about
the material we wrap our selves in on a day to day basis?
That's right, the best
way we can help conserve the earths resources, when it come to our own personal
style, is by buying previously owned clothing items. Whether you go for the high
end consignment action or a no-frill salvation army shopping experience, you are
bound to walk away with two things- big savings in the pocket book region and
good feelings from knowing that you're treading lightly on the earth...with the
pair of vintage boots you just scored for half of what their worth.
Now let's say that those jeans that you bought on the same day, for only ten
bucks, have served you well four a couple of years and are ready to retire and
move on to their next reincarnated clothing life cycle. Before you toss them in
the trash thinking they are unfit for human use, take them to your local
recycling center.
Those Levi blues may not be
suitable for humans to wear any longer...but life inside...now, that may be
another story. Eco-conscious home builders and manufactures have developed
excellent alternatives to synthetic and potentially harmful home insulations buy
using recycled denim and other fabrics. Just when you thought those jeans had
warmed you for the last time!
Otherwise, there may be some great uses for your old sweats and t-shirts as
household cleaning rags. Or maybe that little lilac number you wore to your
sisters wedding is quickly moving from your greatest hits wardrobe playlist, to
just plain played-out.
Then think about hosting a clothing swap with your
friends, where all of you bring the clothes that are still in good condition but
are no longer satisfying their style function in your current au courant
state. This way you all breathe new life into the clothes that love
and the environment that you love by conserving the resources that go to make
them.
