Clothing - Good Condition

Clothes are garments made of various textiles, including cotton, wool, polyester, and synthetic fibers.

Reuse is best! Share locally on listservs, with friends, family, neighbors, local groups, or on FreeCycle, Craigslist, NextDoor, etc., or other local charity organizations to reduce your climate impact.
