Speaking of Recycled Clothing: Buy Used
And speaking of recycled clothing, we've found that for clothing we wear around the house, we can find it cheaper (and sometimes better) at our local thrift store than at our local Walmart. Besides, buying used clothes reduces the acreage needed to grow cotton (or the barrels of oil needed to produce polyester and nylon).
In fact, the more we buy used products, the fewer new products need to be produced and the less trash goes into our landfills. We've recently bought used DVDs, a used milking machine, vacuum pump, and pasteurizer, and used kitchen utensils. So shop your local thrift stores— it's Earth friendly.
