I've always had a tendency to rotate just a few pieces of clothing, even as a teen. Too many choices gives me decision fatigue. I envy that monks know just what they're wearing every day. Is that weird?37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-80195512035711511002016-09-04T02:52:11.792+01:002016-09-04T02:52:11.792+01:00We just got rid of a BUNCH of clothing - the Vietn...We just got rid of a BUNCH of clothing - the Vietnam Veterans come around & pick it up so I don't even have to take it anywhere.

I hope it was great.<br />I once read the story of a man who was traveling in Africa and saw a young man wearing a shirt that looked familiar to him. Upon closer look, he discovered it was in fact, his shirt that he had given to a charity years before. It actually had his name on the back.

If something isn't being worn, I donate it back to charity.

It was stolen in the port, and then sold -- with the appropriate kickback to the port supervisors who let it "walk" in the first place.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-29162871875734537842016-09-02T16:15:19.304+01:002016-09-02T16:15:19.304+01:00The same thing with clothing happens here.

Discarded clothing is currently bought by a dealer and shipped to eastern Europe for market sales. Of course the dealer's payments are added to Oxfam's coffers so this money helps to support worthwhile projects in other countries...
