Why, indeed, do I own all these clothes? Why do I own most of this crap?

Can’t believe I paid to ship all these used and useless clothes.

Donating to a charity once this is all over.

and we said the same thing.

Look at the labels, I'll bet at least a third of the unneeded clothing was made in China. If we all bought only what we need, we could shut China down in six months.
