PLEASE may I ask people to help save the planet by buying second-hand?

A car becomes second-hand as soon as it is driven.

There is a brand-new, green, secondary school blazer priced £3 in a charity shop. These shops have shirts, skirts, trousers, jumpers etc. which will help parents with uniform costs.

Good books can be had from 20p upwards and there are many new items which are unwanted presents. You will be supporting good causes and, who knows, may become a shopaholic as many do.
