Sierra Club Green Tip: Buy Used


It was cool in the '90s and it's cool again. Buying used is the ultimate way to keep your closet's carbon footprint small. But stepping out of a Goodwill or a used-jeans store doesn’t mean that you'll have to dress in some grungy plaid or frumpy floral. If you’re intent on maintaining your fashionista rep or hipster clout, scour flea markets and vintage boutiques for designer labels and edgy pieces that fit in with your personal style. For those who’d rather not drive to the store, there are plenty of online shops where you find your dream green outfit.
Perhaps, one cooler is Buffalo Exchange. We all know it's good to support our own clients and buy shopping at Buffalo we are not only supporting our client but also the environment. I've been to the one in Seattle many times and it's full of treasures. Some new, some used, but a good combination and great prices overall!
