How do you REUSE everyday?

✅ Donate to charity
✅ Shop secondhand
✅ Use reusables (ditched disposables!)
✅ Fix things instead of replacing
✅ Share stuff with friends & family
✅ Get creative - upcycle, refurbish, repurpose
✅ What have we missed?! 🤔

It’s National Reuse Day 💃🕺🪩🎉(woo hoo!) our annual celebration of the simple yet powerful act of ‘Reuse’ - in all its forms.

This year, Reuse Day will focus on encouraging people to choose to REUSE EVERYDAY. It’s easy and convenient and there are soooo many ways to do so.

⬇️ Let us know in the comments your favourite way to and tag your favourite charity, organisation, shop, project, campaign, product, community group, influencer, business or platform that helps you do that.🙌

✳️ We want to celebrate and share all the amazing ways we can all make REUSE part of our everyday ✳️ and encourage others to do it too. So get sharing!

There are so many easy ways for all of us to reuse household items and pass things on when we no longer need them.

Whether you opt to re-home items of furniture; take clothes you no longer wear to a charity shop, repair something instead of replacing it or simply remember to take your reusable bags with you when you shop - it’s all reuse and it’s all good!

National Reuse Day is celebrated each year on the third Friday in October. Wanna know more?

This has got everyone commenting! 😳

What do you do with unwanted clothes?
Do you still donate to Charity Shops or buy from them?
Comment below!

“‘People sell their best stuff on Vinted’ – how charity shops became a dumping ground for unsellable clothes.

Swamped with ‘daily avalanches’ of soiled items and poor-quality fast fashion, secondhand stores are in crisis.
What went wrong with people’s good intentions?
And is it possible to donate more effectively?”
