From the present negative personal and family economical impact to the environmental impact, swapping, trading, or bartering is becoming more of a fun, necessary, and smart choice for all of us. A revolution called collaborative consumption is showing us the benefits of swapping or trading. (Felson and Spaeth) Due to the attention and large amount of followers there are many ways to swap clothing and accessories from swap parties, swapping website marketplaces, Craigslist, and thrift stores that are expanding throughout the United States. Through recycling our excess items by trading, sharing, or swapping, we are helping give more options to purchase them at reduced or no costs as well as improve the economy and better the environment. Socializing and a new sense of pride is being renewed through these outlets whether they are on the internet, events or parties, or your local thrift shops that are supporting people in all different ways.

With regards to the economy, we all have been affected in some way by the global economic crash of the financial crisis in 2007-2008 and our current recession. Subsequently we are forced to save money and work together to help each other through the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. (Business Wire, Pendery 2009) Many opportunities for us to swap, trade, or barter are becoming possible all of the time and exploding with popularity on the internet, social media, and local community events and parties. We have less to spend, but still have wants and needs for new to us items and to fresh our closets. When we use these resources our wallets can sigh with relief as we can trade our clothing and accessories evenly or for a small fee like postage. There are no added costs to the merchandise since it’s not being manufactured, transported, or sold with added retail costs.
As for the environment, recycling items has been popular for a long time. We recycle our cans, bottles, jars, papers, boxes, and more so why not our clothing and accessories to one another? In the same ways we use the opportunities and outlets to swap, trade, or barter our items and we save the added costs of the factories that make the items, the transportations, and no just tossing our unused items into the trash can, we are saving our landfills, waterways, and air from excessive pollution. According to the figures from the EPA, in 2010 Americans threw away 13.1 million tons of textiles, which only 15% of was reclaimed for recycling. (UsAgain, Wallander) We still have a ways to go, but we are on our way to have a great impact on the environment for the future
