I've had good luck with eBay, too, but I would definitely love to see a guide from you on great recycled clothing shops!

I also think that buying timeless pieces that are made well, (so they don't fall apart in 6 months) and not discarding things in 6 months is good too. I buy a lot of stuff, shoes again, but they're unique with classic styles so I can keep them for ages. It helps that I don't wear the same shoes everyday and I maintain them. Good items, treated gently and kept up well is a great strategy for not adding to the landfills. Luv Poochie PS That video was very impactful. I'm sharing it with my friends and family and plan on working more of that into my own life. Thank you. I love to buy vintage (recycled, I guess), especially shoes and have had great luck on eBay.
