This Claw-some Habit is Super Thrifty!

Hermit crabs don’t let good things go to waste.
When their shell gets too small, they pass it on to another hermit crab to use.

BUT WAIT!

That sounds like a great idea for us, too!
No, we don’t have shells like hermit crabs, but we DO have a lot of stuff that we outgrow and stop using.

It’s time to be like a hermit crab! If your old things are in good condition, don’t throw them away. Give them new life by giving them to a friend, thrift shop, or charity.

Not only are you helping your friends and neighbours, you’re also helping the planet! By giving your clothes away instead of tossing them out, you are keeping them out of landfills. Stuff in landfills can give off greenhouse gases as they break down. That makes climate change worse!
