REI Second Hand Shop
This one goes out to all of my outdoorsy eco-explorers
I came across the coolest thing. REI has a second hand area that people can buy second hand gently used equipment at a discounted price.
REI Members can shop and trade in used gear... from backpacks, to wetsuits to ski boots. This is a great way to lower you waste and still have kick ass outdoor gear. Buying used gear instead of new typically avoids carbon emissions of 50% or more.
Give your gear a new life outdoors and get something back – an REI gift card! Trade-ins accepted in store or by mail and then you will get an REI gift card to buy other gently used outdoor gear. HOW COOL!
