Sustainable clothing apps such as Depop and Poshmark change the future of wastefulness when it comes to clothing. These apps model a thrifting-style set up in an online form. Users can buy and sell clothing, limiting the production of fast fashion and increasing the repurposing of older clothing. This allows people who no longer enjoy their closet to share it with others who may further appreciate it.

However, this growing trend has given way to a series of debates on ethical issues surrounding gentrification and thrifting. “It’s nice that it’s not looked down upon anymore, [and] it’s fun to do with friends, [but when] people who can afford to buy first hand thrift, leaving people who rely on thrifting with less options thrift. Stores [also] tend to jack up prices now knowing it’s become a trend,” junior Joseph Ranstead said.

An organization called Mostly Mutts came together 20 years ago to help abandoned dogs find homes. The organization sought help through fundraising to continue to provide aid for homeless dogs. In an effort to achieve this goal, the organization opened a thrift store called Mostly Mutts Market in which all of the proceeds help the dogs with rehabilitation. Support them as they educate the public on the welfare of these animals by visiting their store. “I love this thrift store. They are always getting in fun and interesting items. It's a clean and nicely displayed store. The volunteers there are really helpful too. All of the money goes to animal rescue efforts in our area, and they have great prices and sometimes sales,” a customer from the market, Suzi Hickman said.
