Even though we live in a more connected world,
There is still a huge gap between the rich and the poor,
Since this tragic irony,
Is too hard to ignore,
So many feel forced,
To keep up with the Kardashians,
We either walk in a store and buy clothes we can't afford,
Or indulge in Fast Fashion,
Cheap clothes that are short lasting,
Easily damaged,
Nice low prices,
But their inability to be worn more than twice is expensive to our planet,
So, In an effort to recycle, reduce waste, and save money,
H&M, a clothing company,
That is globally known,
For selling disposable clothes,
Is now leading a garment collecting program of its own,
You can donate bags of used, worn out or defective clothes from your home,
To get 15 percent off an item of your choice,
This is one way to make some noise and let the world hear your voice,
Loud and clear,
By helping to stop thousands of tons of clothes from being thrown out each year,
95 percent of these garments will be reused, reworn and recycled into new clothes,
With the goal,
Of changing the way people across the world use and dispose of their clothes.
Don't Waste Our Planet
