The answer is to take your nonservicable clothing to the Goodwill or Salvation Army.
When they get donations of clothes that are too worn to re-sell in their shops, these organizations send the clothing to "rag sorters" that specialize in recycling fabrics of all types and sizes. About half the clothing gets sold in developing countries, while garments like cotton t-shirts are turned into wiping and polishing clothes and sold to industries and consumers. Some textiles are shredded into fibers used to make new products, such as fine quality "rag" paper, and blankets." http://dld123. com/q&a/index.php? category= Textiles

Plastic bags crocheted gives the phrase "reduce, reuse and recycle" a whole new meaning

Designate two escape routes from each bedroom and practice them regularly.
Teach everyone the "Stop, Drop, and Roll" technique in case clothing catches on fire.
Teach kids that matches, lighters and candles are tools, not toys. Matches and lighters should be stored in a secure drawer or cabinet.
