'We do not have infinite resources in the world and we need to do as much as we can now to stop dumping our rubbish in landfill sites which are fast filling up. I am pleased to be able to offer my support to TRAID - by donating your old clothes to one of TRAID's recycling banks or buying from a TRAID shop you are doing your bit to cut down on the amount of waste we produce and supporting a great charity at the same time.'
Mayor of London Ken Livingstone
