Green Fair Swap Festival (Clothing & Books)
Stop by the Swap Festival at this year's A²ZERO Green Fair! Swaps are an opportunity to refresh your wardrobe, without buying new. Swaps are also a chance to gift your gently used clothes to members of your community, without contributing to the 92 million tons of textile waste generated globally each year.
