Want to get a whole bunch of new clothing, get rid of some old clothing and stay eco-friendly all at the same time? Go to, or host, a clothes swapping party.

These can be set up with a few friends or you can make a huge event out it and really make it exciting. Here is how it works.

You bring in a certain amount of unwanted clothing to the swap, say 10 articles of clothing. Once your clothing is checked in you get to take 10 pieces of clothing from the party from anyone else who brought clothing. Pretty simple huh? These swap parties are great fun and what’s more you will be helping save valuable resources that the Earth would otherwise have to give up because you are recycling clothing instead of buying new clothing. You can even make the event about charity and along with bringing clothing have everyone bring a small amount of money that can then be donated to a worthy cause of your choosing.

The end result is a handful of new fashions for you and less unwanted items in your closet - oh and a much happier planet. EcoZeal.com hopes that everyone who reads this post will be inspired to either attend a clothes swapping party or host one themselves. Feel how good it can be to think and act in a green way.
