When you’ve got unneeded clothes and household items cluttering up your home or furniture you no longer want, pass it on! Putting unwanted items back into circulation conserves the wood, water, minerals, and fossil fuels needed to make new products. By giving things away instead of trashing them, you’ll be doing the Earth — and your neighbors — a favor. 

There’s also no need to wait until you’ve got a load of stuff to take to a thrift shop or enough items to arrange for a pickup by a nonprofit organization. Several websites and social media options allow you to easily give away individual items.
