Second hand stores in BCN

Hello everyone! Today on Way to Zero Waste we will talk about the importance of reducing, recycling and reusing everything within our reach, focusing on the textile industry consumption.

Do you have everything you want? Do you think you need everything you have?

We often do not realize the impact that large industries have on us. They play an important role in our decisions through their power of influence, a place from which it is easy for them to manipulate consumers. Consumers develop an emotional dependence on the products that come on the market, linking them to a state of happiness or success.

One of the most exploited markets worldwide is the textile industry. Society is a victim of the massive and unnecessary consumption in this sector, and the worst thing is that we are not aware of the environmental impact it entails.

Faced with this situation, we bring you an alternative to help create a society of responsible consumption: Consuming in second hand stores.

These are some of the most popular clothing stores in Barcelona and where we buy the most:
