If 10,000 NY Biters swap an item of clothing each month for a year instead of tossing it, we'll keep the weight of about 33 stretch limousines in fabric out of landfills.
Women wear 20% of their clothing 80% of the time.
Swap ‘til You Drop
The Bite
Love shopping, but dropped all your cash on a late-night iTunes binge? Go swapping instead. This weekend, grab the clean, gently used clothing you don't wear anymore (though go ahead and leave that bra with expired elastic behind), and bring 'em to NY's monthly Swap-O-Rama-Rama event. Drop your stuff, donate ten bucks, then fish around in the huge communal pile for as little or much as you want. Feeling creative? Learn how to silkscreen a design on that new top or how to let out...er, take in those jeans a smidge. All this adds up to awesomer (yeah, awesomer) wardrobes and smaller landfills - without dropping a dime.
Wanna Try
New York Swap-O-Rama-Rama; Apr. 27, noon-6 p.m.; NYU Kimmel Building, 60 Washington Sq. South at Laguardia Pl., 9th Fl., email for more info. Suggested donation, $10 (free for NYU students with ID).
