Fishermen walk over piles of trash and discarded textile waste on the shore at Jamestown Harbor in Accra, Ghana. Old clothing collected for transport to developing nations for repurposing, resale or donation often overwhelms the recipients.

At the height of the holiday season on Amsterdam’s Kalverstraat last December, thousands of shoppers who regularly descend on the popular shopping district came face to face with the grim reality behind humanity’s sartorial excess. A local activist group had deposited an enormous pile of clothes on the sidewalk, in sight of stores such as Adidas, Zara and the popular Dutch casual fashion chain Cotton Club.

The highlight of my three days in the Cotswolds learning about the role of mycorrhizal fungi in regenerative ag was definitely meeting these rare-breed sheep https://t.co/wNiQkrmDqm
Recycling old clothes is hard, mainly because of the difficulty of separating different fibers. So lots of clothes sent for recycling end up as trash in poor countries. But this Amsterdam business thinks it's cracked the nut. My latest for @business https://t.co/wPKmiWSjrP https://t.co/ceK8LEnvjf
A more telling metric would be median wage. The Netherlands' is €41k. Mississippi's is $37.5k. And in NL, healthcare is virtually free by comparison (insurance at ~€250/mo. for a family of 4, deductible capped at €385/yr, 0 copays)
The problem with this analysis - and surely @nytopinion and @TheEconomist know better - is that per capita income is not distributed per capita. No one would go to Amsterdam and then Mississippi and guess that Mississippi is in a wealthier country. https://t.co/JHZtT8o3gW
