I did not participate in Plastic Free July for 2 reasons:
I try to consume the least amount of plastic I can every day
Fear of failure
Now, I know life cannot be completely plastic free and I have realized this conclusion many times in tackling my eco anxiety. I’ve kind of been going through the motions in terms of my consumption and July was full of life changes like starting a new job and adjusting to my second month of my masters program.
However, Secondhand September is coming up and I have decided to participate. It would definitely save me money to participate, even though it takes a bit of time to find your wishlist items from secondhand sources. It is worth it however! My carbon footprint will be decreased and I’ll set a good example for others.
The place I will be shopping from are:
Goodwill
Depop
Poshmark
Ebay
Thredup
What other places do you shop at secondhand?
Unfortunately, I don’t have a Facebook so no access to FB Marketplace. I do wish Instagram had one though!
