Get inspired by others
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and, in this case, also a public service. Being inspired by the many ways others create peace in the world is one of the best ways to get ideas of your own.
Shop at thrift stores
Too many of our cheap clothes and household goods are made in sweatshops, perpetuating a cycle of violence and poverty. So instead of heading to the mall or a cheap online store, get your next outfit or set of dishes from a local thrift store or charity shop. You’ll be giving back to your community and helping reduce the dependence on cruel labour practices.
Here are some steps to keep treasured vintage clothing at its best.
Clean out your closet for charity
While you’re at that thrift store, you might as well donate a bag of clothes or other gently used items. Not all thrift stores are created equally however so do some research and donate to one that has a proven record of charitable donations and works.
