Oxfam Secondhand September 2021
Could this be the year that you choose to join in with the #secondhandseptember movement? By saying yes you will give your clothes a longer life, be kinder to the environment, reduce waste and say no to everything that is bad about the fast fashion industry.
What is Secondhand September?
Second Hand September is a 30-day campaign run by Oxfam encouraging people across the UK to stop buying new clothes for the month in a bid to curb our fast fashion habits — and it's easy for everyone to get involved with.
Did you know? 13 million items of clothing go to landfill every week and 95% of textile waste could be used or recycled.

How does buying secondhand help curb climate change?
There is already too much clothing in the world. By opting for second hand, you are reducing the demand for new clothes and reducing the future waste which is often shipped to poorer countries in vast amounts where they do not have he facilities to process the waste. There is no such thing as 'away'.
Climate change is having a devastating impact on us all, particularly poorer countries with a lack of infrastructure and it is unfortunately having a disproportionate effect on those already in need. People who are in poverty were struggling to get necessities but with these even more extreme weathers brought on by climate change they do not have access to water in droughts, money to repair their houses after floods and so much more. To help these people we need to be more conscious consumers and support the sustainable and ethical brands and habits, Secondhand September is just the start.
How to get involved with #SecondHandSeptember
- Buy only second hand clothes for 30 days or more.
- Donate your pre-loved items to your local Oxfam shop.
- Donate clothes by post, for free!
- Volunteer in your local Oxfam.
- Share your one-of-a-kind finds using #SecondHandSeptember and tag @OxfamGB.
We believe in protecting our planet and helping people to beat poverty around the world. Giving clothes a longer life to reduce waste is one way to do this.
More ways to fight fast fashion
- Always ask big fashion brands #whomademyclothes
- Be cautious of greenwashing i.e. large fashion brands conscious or recycled ranges which are still made in vast volumes and do not pay garment workers fairly.
- Write and petition brands to produce less.
- Support garment workers in their campaigning for fair living wages.
- Call out 'take back schemes' by big fashion brands whose purpose is to encourage us to buy more clothes.
- Up-cycle, mend and repair your clothes.
- Carefully sort and organise your clothes you plan to donate. If something is too ragged for you, it will most likely be too ragged for someone else!
- Host a swap shop with friends and family.
- Look for second hand items in charity shops, ebay, facebook marketplace, depop, boot fairs and much more.
- Borrow your friends clothes for events.
- Rent clothes for special occasions. A couple of our favourite companies are Hurr and By Rotation.
- Shop vintage.
- Buy less.
- When buying new, opt for sustainable fabrics and slow fashion brands that are transparent in their operations including garment worker pay.
Shopping second hand is very time consuming and not an option for everyone so do not feel guilty if you purchase new items. Just remember to ask yourself if you really need it. The main thing we need to remember is to buy less.

Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs, but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery, and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery, and he clarified the process to me, stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers, which I accepted. I followed all his instructions, and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning, I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza. If you seek for assistance in any aspect of your life, WhatsApp Meduza via: +1 807 907-2687 or Email via: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com
Personal growth is important for achieving success in life. All these words were shared with me by Lord Meduza, who performed a spell reading for me and created a lottery spell that turned me into a lottery champion of $112 million here in Arizona. Within 48 hours of adhering to all of Lord Meduza’s divine instructions, he granted me the chance to use the divine lottery numbers to enter the lottery after I bought my ticket in Tempe. A week later, I was informed that I had become the fortunate Jackpot winner of the game, and this was all made possible by Lord Meduza. Kindly express my gratitude to him for his impactful words and actions. For a transformative opportunity, contact him via

God Bless You Lord Meduza.
Running the small business was hard enough in itself without having to suffer such stress as loss of access to a Bitcoin wallet. I had put $532,000 into Bitcoin for my business in case of emergencies, but one day, the wallet was nowhere to be seen. I had trusted it to my friend while he managed my financials, little knowing he would prove less than trustworthy. I couldn’t envision the gut-wrenching feeling coupled with a great feeling of folly for having placed so much trust in someone else’s hands. I could not believe my eyes to see that all of my digital fortune was gone. Literally, every second of my busy day froze in disbelief as I tried to conceive the loss. I remembered the hours I had put into building my business, securing my investments, and planning for the future. Now, I was staring at an empty wallet that once held my safety net. This hit me hard-not only had I lost $532,000, but the betrayal hurt further because it came from someone I considered reliable. The emotional toll was huge, and this financial hit could cripple my business. In the midst of my despair, I knew I had to act fast. I went online, searching everywhere for a solution through which I could get back in control of my finances. That is where I came across Digital resolution services. I knew them for recovery related to lost crypto, but also somehow skeptical. At that point, it looked like I had nothing left to lose. I reached out, and with our very first conversation, I gained the impression that they did understand my situation. Their team was nothing short of extraordinary. They approached my case with professionalism and empathy, meticulously explaining the recovery process in clear, simple terms that alleviated some of my anxiety. They set realistic expectations while promising to do everything possible to retrieve my funds. Over the next several weeks, they worked tirelessly, employing advanced blockchain forensic techniques and sophisticated tracking tools that I’d never even heard of before. It kept me informed with constant updates and gave me hope in this desperate time. Finally, it came-the day Digital resolution services recovered my lost Bitcoin. Relief overwhelmed me, and it wasn’t all about the money but control and self-trust in my financial future. This experience taught me the most valuable lesson: never lose control over your own financial security and never put blind trust in anyone. With Digital resolution services, I recovered not only my $532,000 but also learned how to protect my assets better in the future.
