Planet Aid

Planet Aid, a nonprofit organization, raises funds through textile recycling. Second-hand clothes, shoes, other textiles, books, small toys and laptops are sold for reuse to raise money for charities that do:

• Emergency relief - serving victims of hunger, war, natural disasters and other catastrophes.
• Relocating people or rebuilding areas hit by disaster.
• Development projects- schools, clinics, mini-banking, and small-scale industry among others.

Planet Aid helps the environment too. In 2006, 72 million pounds of clothes were rescued from the landfill and CO2 emissions were reduced the equivalent of keeping 16,000 cars off the roads for a year!
