earth day + what to do with old cruddy clothes

happy earth day friends!  i am so excited to share this little bit of info, i just acquired earlier today.
if you're anything like me you sometimes get a bit overwhelmed when it comes to  clutter and spring cleaning.  forever i have had a pile of clothes that, I have wanted to gets rid of. some are donateable(? real word i think not), and then I have a bunch of mismatched, holey, stained weird stuff that really has no where to go.  i hate throwing stuff like that in the garbage, it really makes my stomach hurt thinking about land fills.  then I saw this
                                                                H&M Don't let fashion go to waste!

go to their website to see where they are excepting donations.  clothes that are in good enough condition will be resold, (which I'm fine with since they do need to cover their costs.) this is the GOOD part!  all that crazy holey, stained stuff will be recycled and reused being turned into raw materials and made into new products....and i feel better!

hug a tree, plant a tree, happy earth day!!
