Clothing Swap to Save the Drops!
Overview
Clothing Swaps Save the Drops—Join us for a sustainable fashion event!
Did you know it takes over 2,000 gallons of water to produce just one pair of jeans? Fast fashion has a major impact on our planet, especially our water resources. Join UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County for a Clothing Swap that helps you reduce your water footprint while refreshing your wardrobe.
Bring your clean, gently used clothing items to trade with others in the community. It’s a fun, eco-friendly way to save money, reduce waste, and conserve one of our most precious resources—water.
How it works:
- Bring your freshly washed, used clothing items to participate
- Drop them off at the front counter to be sorted
- "Shop" for new-to-you pieces brought by others
- Learn about the environmental impact of fast fashion and how to make more sustainable choices
Benefits:
- Reduce your water footprint and environmental impact
- Extend the life of your clothes and keep textiles out of landfills
- Discover sustainable fashion tips from UF/IFAS educators
- Connect with your community around shared environmental goals
