Becoming Less

Second Hand Gifts

Listen Later

Bizz and Emma chat about becoming less by giving gifts that were purchased second-hand.

 

Things to consider:

  • Let others know that you are open to, and prefer, second-hand gifts
  • Start the conversation. Ask others how they feel about it. 
  • Make sure your gifts are clean and in good condition. 
  • Sometimes the gift is INSIDE the second-hand item: plants in used pots, pictures in used frames, etc.

    • Second-hand resources:

    • Buy Nothing Groups - buynothingproject.org
  • Kijiji - kijiji.ca
  • Facebook Marketplace - facebook.com/marketplace
  • Nextdoor App - ca.nextdoor.com
  • Thrift Stores
  • Reuse Centres
  • Garage Sales

    • Donate to support waste reduction at wastefree.ca or on Patreon
