Well, actually I think it has quite a positive impact on the environment. You know that when we buy second-hand products, it means that instead of buying completely new things, we buy old items that people have used. But the quality of the products is still good, and the conditions are okay too. So, it must be ensured that the products can continue to be used. By buying second-hand or shopping on second-hand websites, we can save a lot of money and also save time. These kinds of activities can make a good impact on the environment by reducing fashion waste. Instead of throwing items away, you can sell them on online platforms so that they can become new clothes for other people.
