We help people expand their fashion knowledge, and we let them know where to find good thrifts. It\u2019s nice to share what you know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-35-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-199268\" style=\"width:605px;height:auto\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Attendees show off their beaded bracelets | Sophia Noya, PantherNow<\/p>\n<p>Thrifting clothing can yield <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colorado.edu\/ecenter\/2023\/12\/15\/sustainable-guide-thrifting\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">significant benefits for the environment<\/a>, and is a subject the club feels strongly about.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gean was passionate about promoting sustainable fashion: \u201cNow more than ever, with global warming and fast fashion, it\u2019s more harmful to buy clothes from places like Shien. We promote something healthier for the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was a sentiment that Lopez echoed, saying, \u201cFast fashion is unhealthy.
