It's very tempting to throw things away or even drop them in a recycling bin when we are done with them. Is there a better way?

Reuse and repurpose
When i change my clothes, sometimes i discard some of them. The parish church collects clothes and objects to give to people in need. In the last period, an application has spread, it's called "vinted", where all people in the world can sell and buy used things.
I think that using these methods can give new life to the items and clothes to avoid to throw them in the landfills.
Hello! I personally donate my clothes to organizations that give them to people who need it, and I think that popular application is great! There is always someone who will want something another person doesn't. Thrifting is very popular, which is shopping preowned items, similar to the application you mentioned. This can cut down waste significantly, especially for clothes and household items.
I do agree that making sure products don't go to waste and can be reused if not by yourself then by someone else is an excellent way to reduce your carbon footprint. However, it is important to make sure that you know how to decipher which clothes can be donated and which ones are not. The website I have provided gives you good tips and rules on which clothes are excellent candidates. It would really benefit the Earth if we could reuse or recycle some of the 50 billion pieces of articles of clothing that we throw out to some good use.
