In the process of decluttering your wardrobe for donation, consider items to keep, those to donate, and those in poor condition to discard. Prioritize donating clean, gently used, and hole-free clothes for a more meaningful contribution. Let go of items you haven't worn in years, those that no longer fit, and those incompatible with your current lifestyle.

Donating clothes is a useful (more closet space is always welcome!) and sustainable practice.

Only 15% of used textiles are theoretically 'recycled', with up to half of that amount shipped overseas where the materials often end up landfills anyway due to less advanced waste management systems.
While we often hear about the impacts of the fashion industry on the climate, the fashion industry’s impact on water receives less attention. As we are all aware, water is a vital resource. The pollution that comes from clothing production not only harms the environment and human health, but decreases our ever-shrinking supply of drinking water. Overall, fashion is one of the most water-intensive industries....
