Your First Step in Thrifting

Thrifting has become a wide sensation and has continued to receive a lot of attention over the past decade. Thousands of people are beginning to realize how thrifting can be beneficial to their wardrobe and kind to our environment. Sadly, there are still hundreds of thousands of people who are not aware of the problem with “fast fashion” and how it’s been damaging the one earth we live on.

I’ll be taking a wild guess here, but do you have a cotton t-shirt from Forever 21 laying around? Or skinny jeans hung up on your closet somewhere from H&M or even a skirt you got brand new from Fashion Nova? If you do, do you ask yourself how much cotton is used up on these small pieces of clothing? It takes an average of 10,000 liter of water to cultivate just one kilogram of raw cotton, which can only make about 5 shirts in total or one pair of pants. If you ask me, that’s a lot of used up water on cotton just to make 5 t-shirts in total. However, thrifting can become a profitable advantage for your wallet, as well as an effective way to save land waters that need our help from all the water that cotton both consumes and pollutes.
