News Response #1

We are all used to throwing away items that we no longer need, want, or are broken.  Many of us may be familiar with Recycling (a topic for a later chapter -18), such as Paper, Plastic, Aluminum Cans, even Electronics.  But have you ever thought about the Textiles / Clothing / Shoes that you may discard?  Here's an article from a website titled "Environment 360" (published by the School of Forestry and Environmental Science, Yale University - yes that Yale)  that discussed this issue.  I guarantee your eyes will be opened.
