According to the statistics we only use about 20% of our wardrobe and we manage to buy on average 20kg of new clothing and textiles a year.... By re-using, buying second hand or swishing clothes we will decrease our landfills substantially. You can swap clothes for free on http://www.iswish.co.nz and there are many great second hand shops around.
It makes such sense - upgrading your wardrobe for free, helping the wallet and the environment at the same time.. and it is fun too.

Clothes swapping i love it! Got myself an amazing vintage handbag last week on iSwish by clearing out stuff I hadn't used for years....should come with a warning about how addictive it is though:)
