Supporting Bra Recycling

Good bras are so expensive aren't they? Which makes me loathe to throw them away. 

But sometimes, they've stretched out a bit, you've grown smaller/bigger, or you just don't like wearing that certain bra anymore. Don't you feel guilty for just throwing them out?

I know I did!

So I did a little research and I found this website, brarecycle.com, an organization that takes your used bras, recycles them, and donates them to women in communities around the world. I mailed them my bras and promptly forgot all about it.

Then some weeks later, I got this in the mail:

Isn't that such a cute thank you post card? It totally put a smile on my face.

Then I got all serious and reflective and I thought about all those women who have to go without good bras. And we all know how having good support makes us feel. So I promised myself I'd never throw out something that other people may need, even if it takes a little money and effort to get it to them.

Thanks for the reminder, Bra Recyclers!
