Recycle those old Clothes!
Throwing away old clothes is something we are all guilty of, especially when it comes to childrens clothes which are grown out of so fast. But, there are other options. Here are a few more eco-friendly alternatives:
1) Hand them down! If you don’t have a younger child in your family that can wear them, hand them down to cousins.
2) Donate them. I’ve brought old clothes to thrift shops and the red cross receptical coutless times. As an added benefit, you can even request a receipt for your donation and write it off on your taxes!
3) Get creative! If your old clothes are simply stained, you could dye them a darker color. If they have small rips in the knees, add some flare with patches. There are so many options to renew the old!
4) Make them into cleaning rags.
There is so much you can do to recycle old clothes and be responsible citizens. All you need is a little imagination and motivation.
