BenefitsEnvironmental Benefit: ★★★★☆
Recycling unused clothes gives them a second chance at life!
Money Saved: ★★★☆ ☆
When other people donate good clothes that they're not using, it gives you a chance to get great deals on wearable clothes - and help employ those who typically have trouble finding jobs as well.
Lifestyle Benefit: ★★☆☆☆
Helps keep clutter in your closet down.
What We’re Doing
I imagine most people make occasional donations of clothing and other items to Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc. Shannon makes it a regular practice to go through her closet each year and give away anything she hasn't used in the last year. For me, that's harder to do as I've got some clothes that I'm fairly attached to but don't wear often (like my arctic explorer down parka, here in central Texas!). But it makes sense to give the clothes a chance to be useful if you're not making use of them!
A Little Humor
After giving birth, I couldn't lose the 40 pounds I'd gained. So I dragged my husband to the mall in search of more flattering clothes. We were encouraged by a sign over a rack of suits: "Instantly hides ten pounds!"
"Look!" my husband said. "You just need to buy four of these."
