OXFORD – Charitable confederation Oxfam has launched Second-hand September, a campaign encouraging consumers to not purchase new clothing over the next month, instead re-using old clothing and buying upcycled garments.
It wants people to take a 30 day pledge, saying: “we’ll give you all the fast fashion facts, second hand shopping tips and inspiration you need to make your 30 days of no new clothes a breeze. Saying yes to second hand stops great clothes from going to landfill - giving them a longer life.”
