Wasteland Used Clothing Store

Why It's Good:

You can't always judge a book by its cover, but in this case, Wasteland really is true to its name. The glorified warehouse lacks ambience, but with so much merchandise, the racks are worth a quick look. If you yearn for something specific, this isn't your store. But if all you want is a good bargain on some stylish thrift, you've hit the jackpot. Look out for the vintage slips—they are the store's biggest assets. And don't miss the theatrical window displays, which never fail to intrigue and entertain.

Why It's Green:

Look good and feel good, because reusing clothing is a form of recycling. When you reuse clothing you do the environment a favor because reused clothing requires no new materials, fuel, or energies for manufacturing; virtually the only environmental cost you pay is shipping.
