Buffalo Exchange to Help Save Whales for Earth Day 2009

	Buffalo Exchange to Help Save Whales for Earth Day 2009

March 9, 2009

Recycling’s in fashion—and helps save whales—at Buffalo Exchange for Earth Day 2009.

In honor of Earth Day this year, you can celebrate with some guilt-free shopping at a Buffalo Exchange store near you.

Not only can you find hip, interesting clothing and accessories at this chain of resale stores, but their Dollar Day sale will benefit Humane Society International (HSI) and The Humane Society of the United States (The HSUS). Sales from all items offered for $1 each will go to support our Save Whales—Not Whaling campaign, which motivates people and countries around the world to protect whales from the cruel, outdated practice of whaling. The only way to save these magnificent mammals is to stand up against the international forces threatening to weaken protections for whales. After all, whaling is SO last century, but you can help keep us in the battle against it!
