As I watch a TV face saying "Make sure the clothes you buy can be folded flat, so they won't take up too much space when you pile them up in the closet" - I think of:

The clothing we throw away or toss in the recycling bin used to be sent to other countries. Many of those countries are now refusing to accept the shipments.

My stuff goes from daily wear to lawn work to garage wear to rags, and by the time I get rid of it I'm not sure even the thrid world would want most of it. And I don't buy that much new each year. Fashion plate or curent trend aware, I've never been.

Mike - same here. Only time I tried to "follow the trend" was the late 1960s, when I wore "John Lennon" style glasses. Since then I've just been going down hill.

Mostly what I do too. Even dress shirts that get torn or too grungy end up as work shirts.

Same here. Repurpose as much as possible.

Did y'all know a lid from a Kraft Parmesan Cheese container will screw onto a Mason jar? :wink:

Yes! And does a fine job of keeping the 'shine fresh while transporting it!
