Reduce Your Carbon Footprint With Vintage Shoes (And Other Vintage Fashions & Accessories)
EeBay’s latest ad campaign includes promoting the eBay Green Team by pointing out how environmentally kind and ethical wearing previously owned clothing is: The greenest product is the one that already exists.
The facts presented in the promotion may be new, but the principal probably isn’t news to vintage fashion lovers & those who are generally thrifty. The question is, do you think this will change buying habits?

A GREEN Passion for VINTAGE?
I rant on about buying vintage and preferring Ebay, how Ebay's Green Team advert is mainly aimed at products other than clothing (fashion) because most people will not become vintage junkies to save the planet.
I also discuss an idea of what I think should be done to encourage vintage buying before opening the discussion for everyone.

Eco Vintage
So by buying vintage is one making an eco friendly fashion statement? Well, in so many ways yes: Overall, it embraces the reuse of existing materials. There are also many other reasons...
