Ever wonder what happens to all those clothes that get thrown out? Not the ones taken to the Goodwill or the Salvation Army, but those that end up in the waste centers and landfills across the world. Yes, it’s true.

In NYC alone, and estimated 386 million tons of textile waste make their way through the city waste stream. That’s a lot of shirts, socks and pants.

Wearable Collections clothing recycling is out to change that. This group was founded back in 2000, long before the green movement took on the stream it has today.

Wearable Collections offers recycling receptacles in buildings around the city, making it easier for residents to drop off clothing which can be recycled and worn again.

What makes Wearable Collections special:

What makes Wearable Collections special is our ability to work with you to ensure a successful clothing recovery drive. Whether you are a local charity, school group, church, temple, or sports club, we can help you, publicize your clothing recovery drive, pick up the clothing after it’s been collected, and ensure that the clothing gets into the hands of people who need it—people as far away as Africa, Central America, and South America.

If you’re in the NY area, visit Wearable Collection to find a bin near you.

I carry my MacBook Pro in a backpack.

I like the backpack better than the traditional briefcase bags for several reasons, none that really need mentioning here. Anyways, the only problem with the backpack, is that sometimes things shuffle and tend to get pressed against my MacBook, opening the door to scratches and dings.

To prevent damage, I purchased the Incase 15″ Neoprene Sleeve from my local Apple store. Let me tell you, one of the best purchases of my life. The fit is snug and the padding is exceptional. I really don’t notice any additional weight, but I notice the added safety.

If you need added safety for your laptop, be sure and check out the selection at Incase.
