Clothing discards
« on: January 12, 2016, 04:31:53 PM »
Well, I guess at least it's recycled?

Kind of in the vein of the "no new clothing challenge".  I cannot believe how much clothing gets discarded each year.

I wonder how much ends up in landfills.

A good deal of what gets donated winds up baled  and shipped to the Third World.

I always used to wonder this. It's basically the former USSR - and China, I think.
