\"H&M<\/span><\/p>

Fashion retailer H&M, who recently unveiled their 2016 Coachella collection<\/a>, has decided to join forces with recording artist M.I.A. to collect 1000 tonnes of garments as part of this year's World Recycling Week<\/strong>. H&M\u2019s Garment Collecting program has been around since 2013, with the aim of turning your unwanted clothing into new textile fibres to make new apparel. To raise awareness, M.I.A. has filmed an exclusive music video for H&M in\u00a0the hopes of highlighting the\u00a0environmental impact<\/a> of clothes ending up at landfills all over the world.<\/p>

M.I.A.\u2019s new video will debut on the H&M\u00a0website\u00a0on 11 April, a date which also marks the start of the campaign. Like so many other style conscious musicians<\/a>, the artist has also dabbled in fashion design and modelling, and\u00a0may well offer us some\u00a0wardrobe inspiration.<\/p>

Want to contribute to\u00a0the\u00a0H&M Garment Collecting program? Gather all your unwanted clothes (of any brand, in any condition) and bring\u00a0them to your nearest H&M store. H&M will collect your secondhand scraps\u00a0and, in return, dish out vouchers. This way, everybody wins.<\/p>
