Idea and Purpose

Why are we here? An Idea & Purpose document can answer that question. Our Idea & Purpose describes the raison d'etre of USAgain - our reason for being - and has been summarized on 16 slides with title and wording that were developed in multiple iterations through a collaborative process between the leadership and all staff of USAgain over the course of a few months at the end of 2018.

We Promote and Protect

Our purpose is to earn funds that can be used for activities that promote and protect life and the natural world on our planet–our home in the universe. 

We Fight Global Warming and Climate Change

We fight global warming and climate change by reducing the need for manufacturing new clothing in an industry that is responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions. 

We Extend the Life of Clothing and Conserve Valuable Resources

We recirculate finite planetary resources to keep valuable materials out of the waste and reuse them. "Willful waste makes woeful want" and because waste is disregard for PEOPLE and PLANET.

We Protect the Environment

We see ourselves as part of the natural world. Therefore, we fight for cleaner water, cleaner air and greater bio diversity in the interest of future generations. 

We Transform Little Value into Great Value

We collect material from people in areas of surplus to whom the material has little value and transform it into great value for people in parts of the world where need is abundant. 

We Provide Ways to Dress with Dignity for People Around the World

We make good quality and affordable used clothes available to people who don't have the option to buy new clothes, providing a dignified way to dress while conserving funds for other basic necessities such as food, shelter, health and education. 

We Are Ethical

Our idea is to act with the highest ethics in all our interactions with PEOPLE and PLANET. 

We Perform with Superior Operational Reliability

USAgain performs with superior operational reliability because we believe that anything worth doing is worth doing with excellence and every person deserves to be challenged to achieve their full potential. 

We Care

We deliver products and services that exceed the quality expectations of our customers, partners and patrons. 

We Take a Collective Approach

We build the group by promoting solid teamwork, trust between people, vivid communication, appreciation of diversity and taking a collective approach. 

We Consolidate Through Expansion

We grow to do more good for PEOPLE and our PLANET. From that steady and profitable growth, we improve our operational efficiency. 

We Proudly Partner with Schools

We partner with schools to influence, educate and build ties with Generation C, the Climate Generation, who will shoulder the enormous task of guiding humanity through global warming and climate change. 

We Strive to Be Carbon Neutral

We become carbon neutral by increasingly using renewable sources of energy to power our buildings and vehicles. 

We Plant Trees

We remove carbon pollution from the atmosphere, mitigate global warming and improve the lives of struggling farmers by planting a tree for every full drop-box. 

We Create Jobs and Sustainable Development

Our idea is to give people opportunities to prosper and thrive in a green industry that generates good jobs in the U.S.and abroad. 

We Create an Open Future

We give people hope that a better future is possible. When we envision that successful future and work together every day, we create a better tomorrow for PEOPLE and our PLANET.
