The Problem
Children grow out of their clothes very quickly. Making new clothes requires natural resources and often, clothes end up in the trash creating unnecessary waste.
Our Plan
In order to reduce our impact, we do not buy new clothes. We shop at thrift stores or ask our friends and family for clothes they are no longer using.
