Swap it now!
 Today, Friday 25 April, Oxfam supporters across the UK are getting creative, having a laugh, and doing their bit to encourage people to freshen up their wardrobes without adding to the mountain of stuff we chuck away by holding Swap It! parties.
We're even having our own Swap It! party here at Oxfam House (see right). Oxfam staff have been swapping their unwanted clothes, books, CDs, plants and even giant afro wigs since mid-day. Your correspondent has just returned from the fray with a lovely Damon Albarn CD in exchange for a frankly rather complicated cookery book. Result!
More about Swap It!
 Every year 2 million tonnes of fashion items are bought in the UK and 900 million pieces of clothing and fashion accessories are thrown away. That’s a lot of stuff.
All this consumer madness is helping to drive climate change, and it’s the world’s poorest people who are feeling the brunt of it.
Get your mates together to hold a Swap It party. Whether it’s clothes, bags, CDs or video games, it’s simple – people bring stuff, swap stuff and help change stuff. It's Friday night, you don't need to do much to get the ball rolling so why not hold a Swap It party yourself?
