Volunteers of America, Or Thrifting

This infographic is all about the benefits of thrifting! From helping the environment saving the massive amounts of water needed to grow the cotton for new garments, to saving money on those designer jeans you see in the department stores, to preventing 20 billion pounds of post-consumer textile waste. With the new school year getting ramped up, parents will be heading out to buy their kids some new duds, all the while hoping to save a little money. If parents take their kids thrifting instead of the mall - they can get all the clothes their children want AND save a ton of money in the process - which is a huge plus when they outgrow them in 6 months!
