Would you buy second-hand underwear? This woman does!

A woman in Melbourne has earned herself praise and a lot of raised eyebrows for buying everything she owns second-hand. 

Tamara DiMattina says she started doing so in order to save money, but now does it for environmental and ethical reasons. 

She even buys her underwear second-hand! 

But before you get your knickers in a knot, Tamara only buys underwear that has been unworn, and still has its labels still attached, according to the Daily Mail.

She says she feels bad about buying things brand new, not only because she is used to bargain hunting, but also because she is more aware about sustainable living. 

“We live on a planet where we have finite resources, there’s not a never-ending supply of stuff for us to consume. From a moral and ethical standpoint, I see we need to change the way we are consuming. Over-consumption doesn’t make anyone happy, the more materialistic we are the less happy we are,” she told the Daily Mail. 

Tamara is so serious about her new lifestyle that she started the Buy Nothing New Month initiative – which runs in October. 

She gets the thumbs up from us! Try limiting the amount of new stuff you buy this month, although we will understand if you avoid the unworn underwear pile!
