Shopping at Second-Hand Clothing Stores
When 33-year-old Pete Barth was in college, shopping at second-hand clothing stores was just something he did -- "like changing the tires on his car". He looked at his budget and decided he could save a lot of money by shopping for clothes at thrift shops.
"Even new clothes are fairly disposable (可丢掉的) and wear out after a couple of years,"Barth said. "In thrift shops, you can find some great stuff whose quality is better than new clothes."
Since then, Barth, who works at a Goodwill thrift shop in the US state of Florida, has found that there are all kinds of reasons for shopping for second-hand clothing. Some people, like him,shop to save money. Some shop for a crazy-looking shirt. And some shop as a means of conserving energy and helping the environment.
Pat Akins, an accountant at a Florida Salvation Army(SA) (救世军) thrift shop, said that, for her, shopping at thrift shops is a way to help the environment.
"When my daughter was little, we looked at it as recycling," Akins said. "Also, why pay 30dollars for a new coat when you can get another one for a lot less?"
Akins said that the SA has shops all over the US -- "some as big as department stores". All of the clothes are donated (捐赠) , and when they have a surplus (盈余) . They'll have "stuff a bag"specials where customers can fill a grocery sack with clothes for only 5 or 10 dollars.
Julia Slocum, 22, points out, however, that the huge amount of second-hand clothing in the USis the result of American wastefulness.
"I'd say that second-hand stores are the result of our wasteful, materialistic culture," said Slocum, who works for a pro-conservation organization, the Center for a New American Dream."Thrift shops prevent that waste from going to landfills (垃圾填埋场) ; they give clothing a second life, provide cheaper clothing for those who can't afford new ones and generate (生成) income for charities. They also provide a way for the wealthy and middle classes to shed (摆胶) some of the guilt for their level of consumption."
