The Biggest Challenges of Buying Second-Hand and How to Overcome Them
The Biggest Challenges of Buying Second-Hand and How to Overcome Them Guest Post by: Declan Wiseman, Content Manager for Green Heart Collective Fast fashion can be terrible for the environment. Not only does a brand new T-Shirt take 2,700 litres of water to produce and manufacture, but it also costs the equivalent of driving 35 miles in a car (Oxfam). Thankfully, if you love fashion and still want to change up your wardrobe, you can. The best alternative if you're looking for new-to-you eco-friendly clothes is to shop preloved.
