DID YOU KNOW?
The fashion industry is widely regarded as the #2 leading polluter of our environment due to its use of dyes, chemicals, water, and fossil fuels used in production. Plus, for every 5 garments produced, the equivalent of 3 end up in a landfill or incinerated each year.*
RESALE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
At Plato’s Closet Westminster we buy more than 100,000 pieces of gently used clothing, shoes and accessories every year from our local community, giving these items a second or third life, keeping them out of the landfill…and putting CASH in the pockets of our customers!
HOW TO ENTER:
We will award TWO $500 scholarships, one of which will go to a FIRST GENERATION college student.
