Description
This video talks about the importance of a circular economy and how people should consider shopping 'second hand' in order to help our environment. As the saying goes, one person’s trash is another person’s treasure! At thredUp, the worlds largest consignment online shopping site, they want people to understand that if we don’t want to fill up landfills with old clothes we have options. Consignment is an Earth-friendly way to buy pre-owned items and to put clothes we no longer love back out into the world.
Consignment shopping is not a new concept and is the way of the future!
