A Post from the Niagara branch of the Ontario Public Interest Research Group
The Ontario Public Interest Research Group ( OPIRG) is a student funded and student directed socially just environmental organization. In preparation for the holiday season OPIRG has decided to hold a Clothing Swap Party as a way to address rampant consumerism and it’s environmental consequences.
OPIRG's INfoShop in St. Catharines, Ontario.
OPIRG is urging the Niagara Region to consume “smarter” by moving away from the outdated concept of outright ownership – and the lust to own – towards one where we share, barter, rent and swap.
All are welcome to come! Critical mass is important for collaborative consumption. If there aren’t enough people “out there” offering or demanding these goods and services, then these systems quickly wither.
November 23rd at 7 p.m. in the OPIRG InfoShop at 21 King St, St. Catharines, Ontario is the perfect opportunity for you to clean out your closet, wardrobe, attic , whatever, and swap things that you might actually wear/use!
Change is good right?
Come to 21 King St on Nov. 23 at 7 p.m. to hangout, relax, and swap clothing and accessories
How does it work?
1.Bring in gently used clothing or accessories that you no longer need. (there is no maximum)
2. Meet new people
3.Pick up new clothing and accessories for Free!
4. A donation of $2 towards the OPIRG info-shop, if you please
We will be donating everything to community care after.
