To celebrate our lovely planet and her resources, we can strive to cut down our consumption. Here are a couple of ways to refresh your wardrobe without spending a fortune, while saving the environment. Join the fashion swapping community:

1. Swapstyle - online fashion swap party where you can trade apparel, shoes, accessories and more

2. Bag, Borrow or Steal - borrow or rent designer handbags and jewelry online

3. Don’t shop, swap! Throw your own fashion swapping party.

This year’s Earth Week Banana Republic is donating 1% of their sales to Trust for Public Land, a non-profit dedicated to conserving city parks and playgrounds and creating new ones. So hurry and shop this week (April 22-27) guilt-free, knowing that with every new skirt or sundress that you buy, you are making your city greener. If you are not a BR clothing fan, but would like to support their environmental efforts, you can also donate directly to this great cause or register to volunteer.
