Everything Goes, TradeUW: Buy and Sell Clothes with Fellow Huskies

Project tags:

community engagement & outreach

digital youth & youth services

mobile or web development

TradeUW is an online shopping platform that allows University of Washington students to buy and sell secondhand clothing items while aiming to reduce waste, cost, risk of scams, and promote a safe shopping experience. These are just a few of the key information problems present in the fast fashion industry that people actively partake in. As a result with TradeUW, college students are better able to shop both efficiently and effectively while accounting for both the negative environmental and personal complications that come with clothing shopping. Our project impacts the lives of others by encouraging and promoting fashion sustainability.
