But maybe the issue comes with not wanting to support big companies like Wal-Mart, Gap, Old Navy etc. and concern about chemicals?</p> <p>My very crunchy friend gave us a new organic, fair trade, mom-made, hemp something something sleeper for N when she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crunchy-and-used-clothes-question#post-1946229 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 22:49:09 +0000 loveisstrange 1946229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol. I'm not remotely crunchy and I'm totally pro-used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crunchy-and-used-clothes-question#post-1946219 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 22:24:18 +0000 Arden 1946219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of the crunchy folks I know are very pro-used! It's greener, cheaper, etc.<br /> I'm pretty crunchy and I buy about 75% of LO's clothes used (mostly on Facebook swaps and thrift stores), and quite a few of mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crunchy-and-used-clothes-question#post-1946216 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 22:14:31 +0000 blackbird 1946216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLilybugg: maybe they just don't care! Some people don't like used clothes, no biggie. I love it! They wear it all for such a short time... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crunchy-and-used-clothes-question#post-1946215 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 22:13:01 +0000 MrsLilybugg 1946215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: right!!! Makes sense!! So I bet that girl on FB didn't buy used or something and her crunchy friends didn't "judge" that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crunchy-and-used-clothes-question#post-1946214 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 22:11:59 +0000 MrsLilybugg 1946214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: so true! I bought a baby gap shirt fir $1 and looks brand new! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crunchy-and-used-clothes-question#post-1946213 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 22:11:58 +0000 blackbird 1946213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLilybugg: I would think they would be pro used clothes! Less carbon footprint and all that green thrifty jazz </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crunchy-and-used-clothes-question#post-1946211 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 22:10:55 +0000 MrsLilybugg 1946211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes that's what I was wondering - if they're "pro" or "anti" used clothes ! And I wondered if they were in fact anti used, if there was something I didn't know I should be "worried" (said lightheartedly) about</p> <p>@plantains: ok that's what made sense too - whole recycle thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crunchy-and-used-clothes-question#post-1946209 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 22:08:43 +0000 avivoca 1946209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love love love used clothes. Kids grow so fast that the clothes are practically new. Also, any luxury or high end brand items I own are secondhand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crunchy-and-used-clothes-question#post-1946206 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 21:58:27 +0000 plantains 1946206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the crunchy people I know love used clothes given that it is a great way to eliminate waste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crunchy-and-used-clothes-question#post-1946205 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 21:56:57 +0000 birdofafeather 1946205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>like people who are "crunchy" don't like used clothes? i have friends of all types that like vintage/used/hand me downs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crunchy-and-used-clothes-question#post-1946204 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 21:54:28 +0000 blackbird 1946204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love used clothes! </p> <p>People be snobby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crunchy-and-used-clothes-question#post-1946199 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 21:45:15 +0000 MrsLilybugg 1946199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I've read a couple of comments in multiple places (not just here) that make me believe that "crunchy" folks have a stance on used clothing, and I am wondering if this is a "thing" and if so, what that stance is?<br /> Example: someone on a crunchy site on Facebook said her friends don't give her grief regarding used clothes . Zero elaboration. And I don't wanna post cause it's a huge open group and I don't wanna really comment (I lurk lol)</p> <p>Anyway. Anyone know anything about this? (As I sort through a huge pile of awesome stuff I got at a consignment half off sale!!!) </p>
