    You are going through your old clothes when you realize that most of them are too small for you.  What do you do with them?

    • You give them to Goodwill or a similar store

    • You save them for your sister/brother who is 6 years younger than you

    • You throw them out

    • You don't know what to do so you just leave them in your dresser.

    Correct Answer
    A. You give them to Goodwill or a similar store
    Explanation
    C is obviously wrong- this is an environmental website, for crying out loud! D and B are a little harder, but you'll soon realize that you are likely to forget about them and then either end up moving and getting rid of them, or when you do find them, you just won't feel like dealing with them and just throw them away anyway.

    • Use and then wash them repetitively.

    • None of the above.
