As I look at my closet, I know if I am going to buy more new things for Spring and perhaps for what’s left of Winter, I have to get rid of stuff I haven’t been wearing. You have to remember that I work at Meadow, so I see all the new arrivals every week. It’s really wonderful, but I tend to just want everything I see. I have to really ask myself if this piece will work with what I already have. And as you can well imagine that '“yes” slips out of my mouth so easily. I have gotten much better than when I first started working here and felt that I needed all the new arrivals. Fashion is for sure my passion. Every season change I know go through my closet and remove the pieces I hadn’t worn in 6 months. It’s much easier now because I turn my hangers the opposite way to show what I have and haven’t been wearing. I try to remember that there are many great places to donate so that others can share in the fashion I loved. So when you are cleaning out, think about the places where you might donate.
Nothing makes decluttering easier than knowing your clothes are going to a worthy cause — or at the very least, not going to the dump. Consider this: Around 11 million tons of textile waste ends up in landfills each year. And your old jeans and tees don't have a short stay there either. Depending on the material, it could take them anywhere from several weeks to several decades to break down, releasing methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide, in the process. Fortunately, there are simple ways you can donate your clothes to save the planet, and at the same time, help those in need. Here are a few places that are taking donations.
