  1. Welcome to our We Choose to REUSE fashion show!

  2. You can recycle clothes many different ways. One way is by handing down the clothes you outgrow to your younger family members or friends.

  3. The clothes you give to your younger friends and family members are often called hand-me-downs!

  4. Hand-me-downs are super cool to wear…AND theysave you money by not having to buy new clothes!

  5. Handing down clothes to your younger friends and family members also saves the environment because the clothes go to someone else and not into the landfill!

  6. Landfill fact… It takes hundreds of years for fabric in clothing to break down, depending on the material. Clothing accounts for about 7% of the waste in landfills.

  7. If you do not have anyone to hand down to your clothes to…there are other things you can do with the clothes you no longer need…you can DONATE them!

  8. Think about donating clothes to local consignment shops whose profits go to a good cause – like to help people in our own community!

  9. Two stores near us that are great places to donate the clothes you do not need anymore are the Salvation Army and the Savers stores.

  10. Today we are proud to have special representatives from the Salvation Army and Savers. They will be sharing a few words with us and telling us about their stores.

  11. The representative from the Salvation Army will be speaking after Miss Sica’s Class Fashion Show and the representatives from Savers will be speaking after Mrs. Mashiotta’s Class Fashion Show a little later this afternoon.

  12. We know all about recycling our plastic bottles, paper, and cans – but remember you can recycle your clothes too by DONATING!

  13. You should check out your local Salvation Army and Savers stores and see all the fashionable clothes they sell!They sell brand name clothes – such as Abercrombie and Gap – and really cool sports jerseys and sweatshirts too – and very unique clothing items too!

  14. It is a WIN, WIN, WIN situation!Why?Because…#1 You get fashionable clothes at a GREAT price.

  15. #2 You help people in need in our own community!

  16. #3 You help keep clothes OUT of the landfills!

  17. So we want you to know that it is more than cool to wear hand me downs, and to shop at the Salvation Army or Savers type stores, and to donate clothes you outgrow – it is the GREEN thing to do!

  18. So save money, help the environment, help people in our community, and look cool with us TODAY…choose to reuse!
