Part 6/7:
Thrifting is a sustainable alternative that should not be overlooked. Platforms like eBay or ThredUp offer bargains on secondhand items without the associated environmental costs of new goods.
6. Reduce Deliveries and Packaging Waste
Aim to combine orders from fewer retailers to minimize transportation emissions and packaging waste. Each delivery option can add to your environmental impact, so be strategic in your shopping approach.
7. Small Business Focus
Make an effort to shop small on Black Friday. Many local businesses provide Black Friday deals that support local economies without contributing to the wastefulness typically associated with large retailers.
