Why Thrift?
People often by thrifted pieces because they are cheaper than regular retail. But another significant reason why thrift shopping is popular is because it is an individual action that a person can take to make a difference in helping the environment. Choosing to thrift is choosing not to purchase from the fast fashion industry that is responsible for frequent and large amounts of greenhouse gas emission which harms the environment. It is also responsible for both water pollution and consumption and micro-plastic waste.
