New Year Resolutions for Sustainable Families

As we approach the new year, here are resolutions that can help your family live more sustainably:

1. Buy Secondhand First

Before buying new, check TrunkMatch and other secondhand sources. Make it a habit to look for used items first.

Set a monthly reminder to go through closets and list outgrown items on TrunkMatch. This keeps your home organized and helps other families.

Commit to buying fewer, better-quality items that will last longer and can be resold.

Instead of replacing damaged items, learn basic repairs like sewing on buttons or fixing small tears.

Involve children in sustainable practices and explain why they matter.

Choose platforms like TrunkMatch that support the circular economy and reduce waste.

Keep track of how much you save and how many items you keep out of landfills.

Small changes add up to big impact. Here's to a more sustainable 2026!
