![Promoted by influential media creators, thrifting has become a popular way for the younger generation to fill their wardrobes and cultivate their personal styles. However, this growing trend has given way to a series of debates on ethical issues surrounding gentrification and thrifting. “It’s nice that it’s not looked down upon anymore, [and] it’s fun to do with friends, [but when] people who can afford to buy first hand thrift, leaving people who rely on thrifting with less options thrift. Stores [also] tend to jack up prices now knowing it’s become a trend,” junior Joseph Ranstead said.](https://bestofsno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/thrifting-cover-900x557.jpg)

![Proud of the new school store renovations, School Accounts Secretary Denise Heinle sits in front of her desk. Over the summer, Heinle added some flavor to the office with the help of three bus drivers and her late husband. The room was transformed by a paint job, new furniture and hand created decor. “I wanted it [the room] to be more spirited. The school store just had all these college posters in it and they were old and nasty,” Heinle said. “It had never been decorated until I got there.”](https://bestofsno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Denise-Heinle-900x619.jpg)
