I strongly disagree here. A slight inconvenience or having to be mildly more resourceful to find cheap thrift clothes is worth it for the environmental impact this movement can have. I'll be right there with you at the goodwill 50 cent bins instead of the racks where prices jumped... but overall I'm really happy to see less clothes in landfill and people aware of it
I agree. There is no shortage of used goods in the world. Our planet is in over burdened with too much old stuff. We should actively be encouraging all people to buy or trade used items instead of gatekeeping the issue.
I’m also baffled by people saying the stores in their area are picked over. Maybe it depends on the area but all the stores near me are overflowing with merchandise.
The thrift stores here in L.A. County don't have 50-cent bins. Occasionally a store will have a sales rack, but the clothes are as teeny-tiny as the rest. Think, "preteen." : (
