Every year in the UK we buy 2m tonnes of clothes, and 1.5m tonnes end up in landfill!

Buying fewer clothes and keeping them longer is an important part of reducing landfill. But when your old clothes really are beyond the pale, giving them to chartiy shops or local crafts people like Sarah Baulch is the best way to help the environment. There is almost always someone who will be glad of your old clothes even if you aren't!
