School committee together with SMT are aware of throwing away used unwanted good clothes & shoes. Sometimes this is done because of the modern society, the need arises to change clothes and style or because we just can’t wear them anymore. Students said that this is generating unnecessary waste as this is being disposed of in their house bins, and they know that clothing can be a large contributor to the destruction of the environment. Therefore, we decided to bring to school, children’s and adults’ used clothes and shoes, which could be easily recycled and reused, given to other children who are less fortunate and to donation centers to have a second life. The aim behind this activity is to learn from a young age how to reduce waste on our throw away culture by recycling and reusing.
