Have you ever looked at your clothes and wondered where they go when you can no longer wear them? Perhaps they’re too small, or you don’t like them anymore. We no longer have to trash leftovers, but upcycle them instead!
Clothes recycling is giving your old clothes a truely special second life. That article of clothing you had that isn't quite you anymore? We don’t have to just say goodbye forever — we can clean it up, dress it up and provide pizazz, and give someone else joy with it. It's like magic! Another person can be happy with your old clothes while our planet will benefit from it.
The earth is beautiful and she needs us to do our part, and recycling clothes is one way we can help. Recycling means we’re creating less garbage. Less rubbish leads to a cleaner, healthier Earth. In other words, imagine huge garbage dumps — they become full of stuff that people don’t want anymore. But when we recycle clothes, we prevent those landfills from getting too big!
When we donate clothing that we no longer want, we assist those who may not have the funds to buy nnw clothing. Some people lose everything in major storms or other difficult times. Your old coat or slacks might keep someone warm, and put a smile on their face. How awesome does that make you feel?
Each one of the clothes has a story. Your old summer camp t-shirt that you wore every week can become somebody else’s go to shirt. Those outgrown shoes of yours could help another child run and play. It’s like your clothes can go on a new adventure!
So don’t just throw away unwanted clothing the next time you have some. Discuss recycling them with your parents. You can save a planet and save people. Recycling clothes is an easy, fun way to make the world a better place!
