♻️ A great way to celebrate Waste Reduction Week (WRW)! Start thrifting. WRW will be October 20–26 this year.

Waste Reduction Week is October 20-26 and this year we’re shining a spotlight on thrifting— because giving items a second life is one of the easiest (and most fun!) ways to reduce waste.

When you swap, share, thrift, and repair, you’re not just saving money, you’re helping build a circular economy where nothing goes to waste.

Pro tip: Head to your local thrift shop this week and see what treasures you can find. From fashion to furniture, you never know what gems are waiting to be discovered.
