At Toronto Antiques on King we are very conscientious about doing our part to preserve the planet. That is why we would like you to know that buying antiques has positive effects on the world around us. Choosing to buy antiques, vintage items and second hand goods reduces the waste and carbon emissions that come with new production.
Many newly produced items are not made to the highest of standards and thus end up in the trash within just a few years. Buy antiques and enjoy finely crafted goods that will last many lifetimes. And to make more of a positive impact on our environment, carry your own reusable bags when shopping. Here’s one more green tip: if you are having something shipped, try to use ground shipping to reduce your carbon footprint.
