The average American discards 80lb/year of clothing. That absolutely isn't serving a human need, that's plain overconsumption.

That number sounds impossible but I guess there must be some people that throw away a lot more clothes than I do.

I'm not sure I even own 80lbs of clothes.

Doesn't this value include unsold clothing?
