Low-Tech Sustainability

J is an avid thrifter and takes pride in being able to find wonderful items of clothing on the cheap. Over the years, I have learned to enjoy our thrift store outings and looking for needles in haystacks.  Definitely love the element of surprise and the off-beat provenance of some of the clothes. And every once in a while J will find something that fits so well that it might as well have been tailored for her. It makes up for all the trouble.

Both J and I have friends who absolutely swear by thrift. Many of mine have not bought clothes from a department store or even on-line for decades. This is a community of people who want to spend their money sensibly while doing the right thing by the environment. 

Thrifting is a sustainable way of life and that is a big part of the appeal apart from the wicked good deals. It may not quite as hi-tech as plankton based shoes but still helps the world a bit.
