Buying used baby clothes is great for the environment. Babies use clothes fairly lightly before they grow out of them, so it is easy to find good quality, clean baby clothes at second hand stores around Peterborough. Look for good quality clothes made of natural fabrics, so that they can be passed on again when you no longer need them. This keeps clothing out of landfill.
Another advantage with buying used clothing for babies is that the fabrics have already been washed and are therefore less likely to have excess dyes and chemical residues than new fabrics. They will therefore be gentler on baby's skin. Also check out yard sales and support your local community groups by buying at school and church rummage sales. Talk about reducing waste AND financially supporting a good cause!
Two Small Rooms accepts donations of gently used clothing and household items and sells them in order to raise money to buy books for the Otonabee South Monaghan Public Library. Open Thursday 2-4:30pm and Saturday 12:30-3:30pm. "We carry just about everything but furniture."
