I don't know if this topic is appropriate for this community but there is a lot of waste generated with the clothing industry so I hope it fits.

The only resource I know of to find ethically sourced clothes is https://goodonyou.eco/. However, those can be pretty expensive so lately, I've been looking for more alternatives that are more affordable. What do you guys think of Salvation Army, Goodwill, Thrift stores? I've been hesitant on going there because I fear not having a good selection of clothes. If you guys have any experiences with these that would be amazing

Try Goodwills in rich suburbs, where poor people can't get to on foot. Goodwills in urban areas will be pretty picked-over.

Being "zero waste" means that we adopt steps towards reducing personal waste and minimizing our environmental impact.

Our community places a major focus on the 5 R's: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. We practice this by reducing consumption, choosing reusable goods, recycling, composting, and helping each other improve.

We also recognize excess CO₂, other GHG emissions, and general resource usage as waste.
