One person's trash is another's treasure!

This hoodie was found on the sidewalk! Other than a little mud, it was in really good shape. Took it home, washed it up and voila! You don't have to go this extreme to get a good find. There are many second hand options!

Solid shampoo is a low waste alternative to bottled shampoo. And if you use @jack59inc , it's made right here in Edmonton, too!

There are certain things that there are definitely plenty of for everyone already. Why buy new when there's plenty at thrift stores?

Altering your means of transportation is one of the biggest ways to reduce your impact.

Thrift stores are a great place to find unique, second-hand items. But do your research if you're dropping stuff off. The truth is, even then, a whopping 84 percent of our clothing ends up in landfills and incinerators, according to the EPA.

This is TOO MANY choices when it comes to razors. Sadly, the single available safety razor, and the single available responsibly crafted pivot razor were tucked away from the rest of these.

"Charities and for-profits alike say a more lasting solution for people concerned about the fate of waste textiles would be to buy less stuff, or if they do buy, to buy more at thrift shops."
