Eco-Friendly Gifts for the Foodie in Your Life | 2022 Edition

November 17, 2022

We all have a friend we turn to when we need a new recipe or restaurant recommendation. If a new pizza spot opened today, they probably already tried it yesterday. If a new way to make noodles just went viral on TikTok, they're probably are already at th ...

Hot girls consciously declutter their closets. 💁‍♀️

And by that I mean, we don’t drop a giant bag at Goodwill because a lot of those items go unsold, end up landfilled, or shipped to developing countries where they often become more of a burden than a “gift” to locals (more on that below).

➡️ So here are some more sustainable options:

1. Give away clothes in good condition to friends or on your local Buy Nothing Group 
2. Sell gently used clothes on apps like @Poshmark or @Depop (p.s I just posted some new stuff on my Poshmark if ya wanna check it out, link in b!0)

3. Upcycle or downcycle unusable clothes for your own use 
If you can’t do any of the above the landfill may be your best option (which I know is a hot take 😅)

I don’t love clothing recycling programs because many in store drop offs (like those at certain fast fashion retailers) only recycle a *very* small amount of the clothes put in their bins.

The rest is sent overseas to be resold at markets, like Kantamanto Market in Ghana where ~40% of clothes received are of such poor quality they’re deemed worthless and dumped in the landfill anyways.

(The article “Dead White Man’s Clothes” by Linton Besser goes very in depth into this if you’d like to learn more).

So, programs like For Day’s takeback bag program (which I get a lot of Q’s about) may be good to use every once in a while if you have some truly unwearable clothes to get rid of since some of it is put to good use.

But the priority should always be taking care of and using what you have. 💚
