Just thinking about the amount of waste we as consumers produce can make you crazy. There are times when I think about it and feel disgusted and want to change, but it's hard to fight against the status quo.

I really don't know what most clothing stores do with unsold product, but sadly it doesn't surprise me that a lot of it is destroyed. I imagine it costs more to repurpose it or distribute it to charity. I'm just as guilty of throwing away some old clothes that I knew would not be accepted to second-hand shops rather than trying to find a place that recycles worn out clothes. But I'm not even sure the process of "recycling" clothes is even that good for the environment. I imagine a lot of chemicals are required to complete the process.
