What's Old is New Again

6 Entrepreneurs who are Reducing, Reusing and Recycling!

Reduce-Reuse-Recycle is often a goal of business owners in the 21st Century, but beyond that, we have a wide range of eco-friendly entrepreneurs in our area who have literally made it their business to be kinder to the environment by ensuring that what’s old is new again! From antique shops to upcycled furniture stores, designer consignment, and thrift stores, the following local leaders offer hidden treasures, cool finds, bargains, and memorabilia. We even have personal shoppers using thrift goods to create high end wardrobes. 

In honor of Earth Day, Newtown Lifestyle is taking time to celebrate businesses who are making their mark without making a mark!
