5 ways you can reduce your family's fashion footprint
Clothing swaps are another great way to replenish your wardrobe without buying new items. Jackie Bischof, an editor at Quartz, likes how swaps give her “permission to try new things without the guilt or financial dent of something not working.” That said, her swaps may be a bit more glam than mine. I have young kids and work weird hours, so I host casual backyard get-togethers where parents bring their children and we try things on over our jeans.
We should give our clothes away to family and friends when possible. But when it’s not, we can think of personal re-use: Can it be a? Filling for a pillow? Woven into a rug? But when that old t-shirt is truly ready to go, or our rug-weaving skills aren’t up to snuff, both Lakhan and Weber emphasize the importance of putting it in a clothing donation bin instead of the trash.
You may have seen clothing donation bins in your favourite fast fashion store. Weber says that although we should be critical of their overall business model, some stores are “really trying to become more sustainable.” H&M’s donation bins, for instance, are operated by a private company called i:Collect, which Weber says extends the life of each garment by trying to find it a market in Canada, such as Value Village.
