“As cities increasingly divert other high-volume waste streams such as organics, the recycling of old clothes has been called the next frontier for cities looking to reduce solid waste. … If the average life of clothing was extended by just three months, it would reduce their carbon and water footprints, as well as waste generation, by five to ten percent. The recycling of two million tons of clothing per year equates to taking one million cars from U.S. streets.” *www.thebalancesmb.com

We only have one planet—it’s become increasingly obvious that each of us is responsible for its care and wellbeing.

Businesses that help support forward-thinking are increasingly in demand as customers want to shop in ways that support and care for the environment. According to the Small Business Administration (SBA.gov), customers are demanding “green.”

Being a part of this green movement is just smart business.

In a recent Franchise Help Industry report,** a survey found that 88% of Americans believe taking care of the earth is very important. Many were will to pay higher prices for goods from environmentally conscious companies. And that’s the beauty of Just Between Friends—families can actually SAVE from 50 to 90% off retail prices by shopping  these seasonal consignment sales. So that’s a win/win. By operating a Just Between Friends franchise location, you could be the one to help the environment AND help local families in your community by giving them ways to shop and save.
