What is a swap event?
A swap event is a place where people can get together and exchange clothes that they might have outgrown or are bored of, with something else to their liking. This is a good way for clothes to end up with other people ensuring to use them instead of ending up in the trash or donation dumpsters which all end up in landfills. This is also a creative way to get new clothes without buying into the fast fashion consumerism which many people use as their main clothing source.
