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?

Don't throw, donate !
Hi everyone, my name is Paulina and i'm from mexico. It's possible that many of us have clothes that we don't use, we don`t like or you no longer fit. Some peolple have clothes that are dumped at home or other only thrown away. To make a chage you can start a campaign in your school or community, gathering of all the clothes that peolple don't use, with this you can go to a orphanage or with people who are homeless to donate the clothes. I promise you that the people recive the clothes, they will be very grateful.
I do this all the time when I clean out my closet! It's a great way to do something useful with clothes that we no longer need. We can also donate other things like blankets and toys. The people that receive the donations will most likely be very thankful.
I do agree with your idea but I think it's expensive to clean those clothes and it's hard to bring the clothes to the people who need those clothes. However, it is a great idea if some one can solve those problems and hopefully the clothes can be reused.
My family does a big clean out a least once a year. Instead of throwing away things that we no longer need we give them to people who will actually get use them. Why throw away something that someone else could use? Filling our land fills with useful things is unnecessary. I encourage everyone to think "Can someone else use this?" before throwing something away that can be donated. Some people may think that throwing their unwanted items is faster and easier, but I know in my community donating is just as easy as throwing it away. In my community we can call a certain number and they will come pick up our donation right of our front porch. People who are less fortunate will really be grateful for the donations
