Hi John,

The holiday season is approaching, and we're all starting to feel the pressure to make our holidays memorable by buying a bunch of new stuff. All this shopping is tough on our pocketbooks, but it also has steep costs to the environment -- it doesn't have to be this way.

We're organizing the first-ever National Clothing Swap Day on Saturday, December 6, a coordinated day of action where people across the country will be organizing clothing swaps to opt out of the idea that we always need to be buying more and more new stuff, especially around the holidays. They are fun and easy events to organize and can make a big impact.

Are you interested in organizing a clothing swap for National Clothing Swap Day in your community? Register today and we'll send you everything you need to make your event a success.

The idea behind a clothing swap is simple: people bring items of clothing they don't wear anymore and give them a second life by swapping them with family, friends and neighbors for something new-to-them. These events are a fun, free way to keep our clothing in use for longer, reduce waste, and push back on the pressure we all feel to buy new stuff during the holiday season.

Register to host an event for National Clothing Swap Day today.

Thanks,

Lisa Frank
Executive Director
