Together, over 5,700 students at Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount universities contributed 18,000 pounds of clothing to Planet Aid’s clothing drives. Recycling bins were placed on both campuses. Planet Aid prevents over 60 million pounds of textiles from going into landfills every year, and uses money earned from selling used clothing to promote sustainable programs in developing countries.
