Thrift stores help the environment; they provide an outlet for the recycling of previously owned goods. They can also help your pocketbook! The world is turning it’s attention to sustainability, green living and this is an interest that we should all embrace.
Every week I will bring you links to writers and blogs that address the issues of sustainability and green. The first link this week is from planet green and an article written by Cree McCree. Cree has written a book entitled “Flea Market America.” She gives us some ideas on where and how to look for cool recycled fashion. Remember, the Good Cheer Thrift Stores are right in your backyard here for you to explore.
Treehugger has a nice piece “Beautiful Butterflies: Up Close With Nature’s Canvas.” Butterflies have been called the harbingers of climate change, in that their migration patterns have noticeably changed due to warming temperatures. You’ll find a great slideshow presentation; a good learning experience for you and your children.
Blythe Copeland has an article in treehugger entitled “New York Fashion Week: 5 Green Changes That We’d Like to See.” Number 5 is where the Good Cheer Thrift Store comes into play:)
This last link is from the blogger at Whidbey Island Life. Mark Clawson wrote a piece about Sustainable Fisheries while he was in Nevada. You may ask what drove the topic; perhaps it’s because he grew up in the Pacific Northwest?
