Why is it important to recycle my textiles?

Every year, the average person disposes of 81 lbs. of textiles. Only 15% is being reclaimed or recycled, while the other 85% spends around 40 years decomposing in the landfills. That is 26 billion pounds of textiles releasing harmful CO2 and methane into our atmosphere.
