Aries: Daily green

Make sure your old clothing meets certain criteria before unloading it on the thrift stores. Don't toss in those threadbare pants or that grease-mottled blouse. Set aside clean, gently used garments free of rips, holes and stains. If you're donating lots of different stuff, separate the clothing from the household items. And for the duds that don't meet the guidelines? Use it for packing material.
