Is Thrifting + Reselling Ethical? | The Gentrification of Thrifting
Thrifting has become incredibly trendy over the years, and critics argue that this popularity has made thrifting inaccessible to lower-income communities.
While thrifting is usually encouraged for environmental reasons, some people are now claiming that we should stop thrifting, or stop reselling.
While I think these arguments come from good hearts and real concerns, I don’t think they get to the root of the issue. So, I want to explore the ethics of thrifting (and reselling) in this post, plus give some tips for thrifting consciously.
A big thank you to Jade from LavenderHazeLA for joining us in this video!
