Donate used clothing

With the increase of fast fashion comes the increase of clothing to dispose of. The EPA estimates textiles make up 7% of landfill nationally. Donating used clothing can be a better alternative. Much of the donated clothing goes to for-profit recyclers before ending up exported to developing countries, so find a local church or domestic abuse shelter for an even more responsible re-use.
