Where your old clothes end up

Australians typically buy a whole lot more clothes than we need. Most of us eventually send the excess off to charity, but that's not necessarily its final destination. Plenty of those clothes wind up in Ghana, where they're creating an ecological catastrophe. Those that aren't resold end up clogging drainways, riverbeds and the seafloor, or even being burned in enormous pyres that emit noxious smoke. So why do our clothes end up in Ghana? And is there anything we can do about it?
