Our old and unwanted clothes are creating an environmental crisis. In 2015, we sent 10 million tons of textiles to landfills in the U.S. That’s equivalent in weight to about 5 million cars. If you think you’re solving the problem by donating or recycling your old clothes, think again. They don’t always end up where you expect. NBCLX storyteller Bianca Graulau takes a closer look at the problem of clothing waste and how your shopping habit is hurting the planet.
