Recycle The Money That You Have Already Spent! 

Buying second-hand saves resources and means less pollution too!

Cutting down on the quantity of textiles we throw away makes a lot of sense for a number of reasons.

By recycling, we will:

• Save energy because a garment re-used is a garment that doesn't have to be manufactured. It also saves the energy otherwise used in processing raw wool and cotton, or manufacturing synthetic textiles.

• Save water because some textile industrial processes use an awful lot of it. If everyone in the US bought just one reclaimed woolen garment each year, we would save about 370 million gallons of water - more than the contents of an average US reservoir.

• Save natural resources such as the petroleum-based constituents of synthetic materials and the dyes used to color cotton and wool.
