How to Declutter Sustainably (Should We Stop Donating??)

[@AlliCherry]

In this video, I chat about decluttering sustainably and places to give other than the thrift store. Keep in mind; you can sell your items and donate the money to any organization you choose! The goal is to give pieces directly to their new owners to ensure they stay out of the landfill. :)

"Where is away", thanks Alli! That's something we should think about more often

Not sure if you’ve heard of the brand Knickey! They will take your old socks, undies and bras and recycle them to make insulation for construction work! In return you get a free underwear to try out. I found out about this through a KZbin I trust “ohh tae” and it was such an easy process and the underwear is amazing (and sustainable!).

This is really great information, thanks for making this video. We run a a couple of local charities and people do use us as a dumping ground. It takes a lot of our precious time to deal with things that are donated, time that we usually spend working with the homeless and vulnerable people in our community. We would rather spend our time with the people that we help then sorting through junk and taking a lot of things to the dump. Calling your local charities and asking them what they are accepting for donations is such great advice.

This content is so important! I'm afraid to throw anything away because of its unforseen impact. So I look like a hoarder, but really I'm just stuck between what I need and what I want. Thank you for this video.

Love this!! I made a similar video a while back - such an important topic. I feel like the minimalism movement doesn't talk about decluttering responsibly!!

A lot of clothes that are being export come to my country, but the quality is just not good and it's super old. I love to buy it, but indeed it's too much.

Thank you for this video! I get frustrated with the popular minimalist culture that pushes us to donate and give other people a chance to buy our nice items. Unfortunately that’s a really idealistic way of looking at things. You gave lots of good info on how to responsibly pass on our items and I really appreciate that!

Love this video! I ask all of my family and friends first with pictures of the item before I donate. Shopping each other’s houses has become fun for my sisters, friends and I!!!

Also- I sell on poshmark as well!!

That is great!! Thank you for these ideas and resources. In Canada, some women’s shelters take clean, lightly used clothing. As well, some homeless shelters do the same. Some churches have a “New 2 You” shop or a member of the church collects clothing and items for refugee and immigrant families. There may even be the same at various mosques, temples, or other buildings of worship.

So exited for this series!! Im always curious to leqrn more about textiles and what we can do with them!

[@rifatherapper]

Excited for the textile recycling video!

Great video and info! Thank you!

[@judith.corinne]

Great video! Don’t know why there are any thumbs down honestly. I like doing thredUP because I might get money back and apparently they recycle everything that doesn’t get sold?

[@anikkahernandez1623]

I tried becoming a member of the buy nothing group and couldnt get past their quiz to get in! Any tips??
