M.I.A. Joins Forces With H&M To Promote Clothes Recycling

Mark your calendar for World Recycle Week.

March 15, 2016

M.I.A. is planning to put out a new video on April 11 to raise awareness about "the environmental impact of clothes going to landfills around the world." The clip comes with the blessing of H&M, which is launching a program called World Recycle Week. According to the company's website, "the idea is simple: Bring your unwanted clothes (from any brand, in any condition) to your nearest H&M store. H&M will recycle them and create new textile fiber, and in return you get vouchers to use at H&M. Everybody wins!"
