encourage:
Donate!
Very few things actually belong in the trash. Many thrift stores turn your used clothing and household items into project funding. Learn who they are and what they accept, then locate the donation center nearest you.
Consume less
Buy basic pieces that you can mix and match. It�s fun to buy special pieces for special occasions, but make sure these one-time-wears don�t dominate your wardrobe.
Hands-on Fundraising
Need to raise money for your club or organization? Forget those pre-packaged, catalog fundraisers and make something to sell. People are more likely to dish out a few bucks when you�ve put some effort into your product.
discourage:
Say no to sweatshops
Unfortunately, there is no universal label that tells if an item was made in a sweatshop or not. Look for Fair Trade or Union labels for safe choices, or do some online research about the labor practices of the stores where you usually shop.
Don't wear fur
With all the synthetic products we have today, you don�t need animal fur to keep you warm. Make sure any fur lining or trim is fake before making your purchase.
