Second hand become trend

Good for environment better for us who lives in this  universe. Recycling is the correct word,but who do most?not so many of us. Here in Sweden shopping in second hand store is a new trend. It gives  2 purposes number 1, money will send for a help to poor countries number 2, save our environment out from climate threat!.


our baby "jumperoo"we bought it in "blocket" 3 months ago.
 Smart right? second hand shopping both in  internet and store increase interest. We have "blocket" here in Sweden very  popular at this present. A version of ebay but big difference because you have the oppurtunity to meet eye to eye between "you" the seller and buyer. You have the right to check the item you wish to buy before paying it. It really works!because people  is ready to drive long way to the place where the private person advertise the product.

 A lot of Swedish family do shopping in this name second hand website. It is not only saving the environment but to theirselves saving even money. It's not  only people in middle class buy second hand here because of trend folks follows even young adults.


2 months used only  from first family user.. very good condition when we bought it.
 It's one way or another that you may earned money from your old things. Why keeping it at home,where their are people who are willing to pay it.

Second hand stores here are manage by an organization. As I mentioned above their purpose is to help poor countries. Most of the things are donated by some kind owner who no longer likes their things at home. The help organization earned much money after it.A generous works that bring big help to poor people.  Africa is the number one country who got help most of all.

 I remember it as yesterday that time I was still living in my home country. When "ukay-ukay" ( Cebuano dialect meaning you need to rummage the bundle of second hand clothes) become popular in my country. The "ukay-ukay" clothes usually came from other country(abroad). The quality of the cloth is one strong reason why people take the bait.
