Items for sale were donated by club members, their families and friends and sold at bargain prices. We handed out literature on the benefits of thrift-shopping, as well as displayed posters and a slide show highlighting statistics and facts about the harmful impact of the fashion industry on the earth. Furthermore we also promoted the use of reusable shopping bags which were given out free of charge as a bonus when patrons spent a certain amount of money.<\/p>\n<p>The event was a huge success since many persons who bought items were first-time thrift shoppers and furthermore persons who did not purchase items were educated on ways to live sustainably with nature.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>SDG 12,
