Trapped in the Closet By Sam Davidson

Don't Waste Threads

You can do something positive with old clothes.
Use the start of a new school year to get rid of unworn clothes.

All around the world, a terrible epidemic is happening: pants and jackets are trapped in closets, deprived of the meaning and impact that only comes from being worn. You can make a difference for scarves and vests everywhere by auditing your closet this weekend. If you haven't worn it in over a year, give it away. If it doesn't (and won't) fit, offer it up to someone headed to school soon. And, if you have more coats than fingers, let one go (a jacket, not a finger). Team up with organizations like One Warm Coat to multiply your impact.

I'm not sure why, but I didn't receive today's 5 minutes. As I just finished cleaning out my closet, I decided to check my email once more - then the site... pretty neat how that's what it was about today! I have bags of children's shoes and clothes which we are donating to a local organization!
