“You’ll want to make sure you have a bike to get around, a jacket, something to protect you from the elements like a mask, that Playa dust can really start to irritate you, a cup with a lid, and boots and glasses to really just protect yourself,” Stephenson said.
Thrift shopping is also a sustainable way to shop. Catholic Charites mentioned by shopping at their stores you are giving back. All their profits stay local, and it will go to Catholic Charities dining halls, housing, and their food pantry.
