I have just come across your Substack and subscribed! Thank you for this article - enlightening and heartbreaking in equal measure. It reminded me of the quote ‘when you throw something away, there is no away’.
Really enjoyed this read. Thank you. I appreciate you stating you are throwing old underwear. I find myself so conflicted on the best way to handle unwanted clothing items that aren’t worth doing anything with. Every solution just brings along guilt. I need to just give myself the permission to trash since I otherwise do what I can to keep clothes out of the secondhand wasteland.
