In high school, I used to scour thrift stores for clothes and interesting little oddities. At the time, wearing "used" clothing meant you listened to something that was then known as alternative music. As the music went mainstraim so did "vintage" clothing. Whether it's vintage clothing or original modern furnishings, there's no stigma attached to well-made items that have been enjoyed by a previous owner. And it's easier than ever to reuse and recycle all kinds of goods with help from online listings, freecycle and of course, eBay. The wealth of closets across the nation is easily searchable on eBay. And now there's another reason to shop on eBay -- now through April, you can browse and bid on items listed to benefit NRDC.

Click here to see the items for sale from people who have generously donated a percentage of the sale price to NRDC. And be sure to check back for new listings.

If you have some treasures around the house you've been meaning to get rid of, put "reduce, reuse, recycle" into practice by listing your items on eBay with 10 to 100 percent of the sale price going to NRDC. You can also make an immediate donation via PayPal. Consider joining the cause by listing items on eBay and donating a portion of the sale price to NRDC. In these thrify times, you can make a donation to NRDC without using your credit card. Sell your stuff on eBay and support NRDC. Everyone benefits!
