Description
This Halloween, consider shopping for a second-hand or homemade costume instead of buying a brand-new one!
Sadly, most textiles end up in the landfill. Rather than purchasing costumes sold by large retailers that create a lot of pollution, go to a local thrift store, second-hand store, or second-hand online marketplace to create your own costume. It will reduce textile waste and you can always reuse or share it with a friend next year!
