There are too many good causes running charity shops, and also the Salvation Army have a constant need for clean serviceable clothing. Same applies to shoes, boots, belts, sunglasses. So no, it's a silly idea, promoted by people who think they have a right to complain about how many overcoats you have. Prodnoses. The thing is, not many people throw clothes away nowadays.

It's an assault on private property hiding behind pseudo science and what amounts to theology. As for theology and Greens. Perry has a nice take over at Samizdata today. http://www.countingcats.com/?p=4814&cpage=1#comment-11606 Not wanting to blow my own (sorry hired) trumpet here but I have my own take on this and I think it’s rather more sisnister than silly.
