I just want to add, as someone who has worked in a factory before, this is also what regular, non-sweatshop factories can look like. What makes a sweatshop is the low pay, forced labor, who’s working there, long hours, incredibly high requirements and often dangerous conditions.

Goodwill and Salvation Army are NOT the only thrift stores in the world. They're not even the best and they're certainly not the most ethical or sustainable. Here's a directory of over 12k brick and mortar secondhand stores searchable by zip code: thethriftshopper.com/
