Reware Vintage, a vintage clothing store in Berkley, Michigan, is hosting an Earth Day weekend fundraiser to raise money for two climate change organizations: Clean Air Task Force and 350.org. The event, called T-shirts for the Climate, will be a $10 T-shirt sale featuring new, used, and vintage shirts donated by the store and its customers.
All proceeds from the T-shirt sales will be donated to the Clean Air Task Force, which is working to decarbonize the global energy system. Additionally, 10% of all other in-store sales during the event will be donated to 350.org, a grassroots organization fighting climate change.
Reware Vintage specializes in casual vintage clothing for men, women, and kids, and takes pride in supporting a more earth-friendly, circular market. The store uses only compostable and recyclable packaging, tags, and other supplies.
"We want to do more for the next generation," said owner Bethany Nixon. "For Earth Day weekend, we're happy to support two groups doing great work in the fight against climate change. Last year we raised $700 for the groups we were supporting, this year we're looking to raise even more!"
The T-shirts for the Climate sale will take place on Earth Day Weekend - Friday, April 22nd, 12-8 p.m., Saturday, April 23rd from 11 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday, April 24th, 12-4 p.m., in the Reware Vintage storefront. The store is also still collecting T-shirt donations for the sale.
If you're interested in donating, you can drop off your T-shirts at the store located at 2965 12 Mile Rd. from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, 12-8 p.m. on Fridays, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturdays, and 12-4 p.m. on Sundays.
By supporting Reware Vintage's T-shirts for the Climate event, you're not only helping to raise money for important climate change organizations, but also making a greener choice as a consumer. Choose vintage or used clothing, and you'll save water and energy resources while reducing your carbon footprint. Or as we like to say, shop secondhand first!
