The guide says that “Op shopping isn’t just about finding great deals; it’s a powerful way to protect our planet and support our local community. In a world where fast fashion dominates, the environmental toll is immense. Clothes are made cheaply, worn briefly, and discarded quickly, contributing to massive waste and pollution. By choosing second-hand, we can challenge this throwaway culture and promote sustainability.
Op shopping gives pre-loved items a second life, significantly reducing carbon emissions, and conserving valuable resources. Each purchase is a step towards a more sustainable and ethical fashion industry. Plus, op shopping supports local communities and charities, making a positive social impact.
