Hi, my name's Tami Noblet. I'm a sophomore and French major at UWM. I'm interested in fashion and am planning to carry out my service learning project in the promotion of utilizing resale clothing stores. I plan to speak with some local resale clothing stores and do some research on the amount of money spent on new clothing and how much waste we are causing by just throwing old clothes out rather than reselling them or donating them.
Clothing reuse is a great goal.
I'm looking forward to seeing your ideas for promoting clothing reuse. I wonder what information is important to people's decision to shop at a resale store? One thing to think about now is, how will you be able to tell if your promotion effort makes people change their shopping habits? Let me know if you'd like help brainstorming! - Chris Beimborn, Be SMART Mentor
