Building A Better Chicago: Our Climate sustainable fashion tips
abc 7 chicago ^ | 5/3/23 | Tyra Whitney

Posted on 05/21/2023 4:00:11 PM PDT by DallasBiff

Good Morning America's Ginger Zee talked with Tracy Butler about her #NoNewClothes Campaign.

The goal is to use simple techniques to save money and the steps are helping the environment.

Ginger's tips are:

Clear your emails of the marketing blasts - UNSUBSCRIBE! Our need vs want meter changes immediately.

Shop Secondhand Stores, Ginger says "they aren't your grandmas secondhand anymore; sites like the real real have 400 dollar denim for 8 bucks. Enter condition of pristine or excellent to get highest quality."

BORROW & RENT: Sharing clothes is not just for teenagers - create a network of sharing among friends, rent from websites (there are way more than RTR) for big events

I know a lot of folks shop at thrift stores, but the thought of wearing used clothing disgusts me. I came to this conclusion when I borrowed a formal dress from a friend in college at the last minute and after dancing a bit, it stunk like hell, even though I washed it prior. No way I’ll wear anyone else’s clothing.

These climate nuts are deliberately creating an apocalypse where you’ll own nothing and like it

Kinda like when babs Streisand didn’t want us using Clothes dryers, and some other airhead wanted us to use one piece of toilet paper!

I am truly impressed that these people can shovel out such bovine excretion and maintain a straight face.

The hoods of Chicago wear second hand watches and carry second hand wallets.

Yes, folks, journalists ARE that stupid. There are one or two intelligent and good ones out there, but they are rarer than a coherent sentence spoken by the great pretender.
