Get that new look for free by having some fun and hosting a Swishing Party in 2011

Residents of all ages are being encouraged to get Swishing in 2011 and thanks to the advice on offer here www.letswasteless.com it's never been easier.

Swishing is the latest craze for swapping clothes, shoes or accessories with friends, families or work colleagues at specially organised parties – big and small. So if you fancy bagging a new look for free, now's the time to host your own event.

Not only can people have fun at the parties but they'll also be doing their bit when it comes to wasting less and helping the environment.

The rules are simple. Everyone brings at least one good quality item which they can then trade for something that catches their eye.

Research shows that around three per cent of all household waste is made up of textiles – a massive amount that usually ends up in landfill sites. Many resources are also used in the manufacturing and production of clothing, which is another real waste if the items are barely worn.

www.letswasteless.com contains a dedicated Swishing section that has hints and tips for anyone looking at joining in the fun by hosting their own parties. Find out more today!
