Second-hand clothing has long constituted sartorial bliss for the local hippie contingent, but with the recession bearing down hard on pocketbooks, these stores have sprung up around downtown Chico like toadstools on a lawn.Now people of all fashion persuasions seek out used apparel, and not only because of finances—helping save the planet by reducing consumerism is en vogue.

I recently saw a pod on current tv about this same topic. It is a great way to save money and make an effort to make life a little more green.
