In 2012 Planet Aid celebrated its 15th year of operation.
When we started back in 1997 we had just a few dozen or so drop-off boxes in the Boston area, collecting several thousand pounds of clothes a week. Today, our operations
reach across 22 states. In 2012 alone we collected 110 million pounds of clothing from 18,000 collection bins that we own and operate. Our growth is a testament to the hard work of our staff and the help received from our many supporters.
Every day, more businesses, schools and community groups choose to host Planet Aid bins, helping to make recycling more convenient for all and saving valuable resources.
Planet Aid is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that collects and recycles used clothing and shoes and supports international development projects. It is registered with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) as a private voluntary organization (PVO).
If we don’t smarten up in consumption, scientists estimate that humans will consume twice as many resources as the planet can support by 2050. The consequences grow more and more severe as forests shrink, water becomes scarcer, arable lands diminish, and the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere approaches a deadly point of no return. Let's we try to save one Taka/dollar/pound/yen ........from our daily use, consumption, expenditure, LUXURY combat the CLIMATE CHANGE, GLOBAL WARMING and the sequences Poverty, Hunger, Disaster, Peace, Justice, Human Security, Dignity, Rights
Absolute truth for today’s world careless consumption driving untenable production that driving changes in temperature and weather patterns and that’s the Hotter and Hungry World. Hungry world will contribute millions of desperate people. Desperate people do desperate things: They riot, they fight over food, they overthrow governments, and the mass migrate to food-secure countries.

Pope’s Opinion on CONSUMPTION SLAVERY
“When people become self-centered and self-enclosed, their greed increases. The emptier a person’s heart is, the more he or she needs things to buy, own and consume. It becomes almost impossible to accept the limits imposed by reality. In this horizon, a genuine sense of the common good also disappears” (#204).

World Environment Day is an annual event that is aimed at being the biggest and most widely celebrated global day for positive environmental action. World Environment Day activities take place all year round and climax on 5 June every year, involving everyone from everywhere.
The World Environment Day celebration began in 1972 and has grown to become one of the main vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and encourages political attention and action.
Through World Environment Day, the United Nations Environment Programme is able to personalize environmental issues and enable everyone to realize not only their responsibility, but also their power to become agents for change in support of sustainable and equitable development.
World Environment Day is also a day for people from all walks of life to come together to ensure a cleaner, greener and brighter outlook for themselves and future generations.
Everyone counts in this initiative and World Environment Day relies on you to make it happen! We call for action — organize a neighborhood clean-up, stop using plastic bags and get your community to do the same, stop food waste, walk to work, start a recycling drive . . . the possibilities are endless.

As the Head of International Partnerships, Ms. Lichtenberg’s work includes negotiating long-term agreements with international agencies, companies and governments by entering into partnerships to create economic growth, fight HIV/AIDS, train teachers and form farmers clubs, through which people are equipped and organized to improve their own living conditions. Apart from heading the international partnership work of The Federation, Ms. Lichtenberg today serves as the Chairperson of Humana People to People in South Africa. Before her work with Planet Aid, Ms. Lichtenberg spent a number of years with “One World Channel,” which broadcasted programs from the developing world via satellite television to millions of viewers in Europe and Northern Africa.
During the past year we continued to strengthen our relationship with thousands of businesses that have agreed to host one of our collection boxes. We also continued our cooperation with the many towns and counties that Planet Aid has joined forces with in order to put used clothes and shoes to good use rather than discarding them in our landfills. We thank all the businesses, organizations and counties who provided space for our boxes.

Global health - advancing community health worldwidePlanet Aid
In 2013 CORE Group worked in partnership with UNICEF, USAID, national and local governments, and other organizations to implement “A Promise Renewed,” the campaign to end preventable maternal and child deaths within a generation.
Today we stand at a vital threshold. Within our grasp is the opportunity to end 30 years of suffering and death due to HIV/AIDS. Individuals and communities around the world have been mobilized toward prevention, and existing treatment can prolong life for many years. While we celebrate these successes, we reject any modicum of complacency. Now is the time to double down and finish the job. The world is fighting AIDS today just as it had previously fought to eliminate smallpox. For centuries, smallpox was a feared scourge that killed nearly half of those infected and maimed those that survived. A worldwide campaign to end the disease began in earnest in the late 1960s and by 1980 smallpox was officially eradicated.
Planet Aid anticipates the day when AIDS, too, will be stopped. To this end, we have been helping mobilize communities around the globe to increase HIV/AIDS prevention and care. With this special issue of the Planet Aid Post, we focus on the battle ahead. We also extend a warm welcome to those joining us on the forefront of this work,
Planet Aid Post for the Environment and for PeoplePlanet Aid
Planet Aid is dedicated to saving the Earth’s resources. Since we began operations in 1997, our recycling program has saved more than 800 million pounds of clothing from wasteful disposal, thus preventing more than 1.5 million tons of greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere. Of course, there is still much more to do. With this issue of the Post, we sharpen our focus on climate change, which we consider the most pressing environmental challenge of our time. We hope you find the articles in this issue informative, and that they inspire you to contribute to the movement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

4. A Climate
of Injustice
In 2012 Planet Aid celebrated its 15th year of operation.
When we started back in 1997 we had just a few dozen
or so drop-off boxes in the Boston area, collecting several
thousand pounds of clothes a week. Today, our operations
reach across 22 states. In 2012 alone we collected 110 million
pounds of clothing from 18,000 collection bins that we own
and operate. Our growth is a testament to the hard work of
our staff and the help received from our many supporters.
Every day, more businesses, schools and community groups
choose to host Planet Aid bins, helping to make recycling
more convenient for all and saving valuable resources.
The impact of climate change is affecting the poor in
developing nations the most. According to the International
Displacement Monitoring Group, more than 30 million
people were forced to flee their homes as a result of
extreme weather during 2012. Much of this problem has
been brought on by years of unsustainable consumption in
so-called developed countries along with a disregard for
environmental consequences. We can no longer stand idly
by while the suffering and injustice of climate change grows
worse every day.
Through our collection and recycling of used clothing, Planet
Aid is doing its part to help save valuable resources that
would otherwise end up in the trash. Clothing that decays
in a landfill releases methane, a greenhouse gas several
times more potent in affecting climate change than carbon
dioxide. Moreover, by reusing rather than manufacturing
new clothing, less fossil fuel gets burned in growing the
textile fibers (such as cotton) or in operating the factories
to make the new garments.
It has become clear that the work we have been doing is
increasingly necessary. The threat of climate change has
grown more menacing.When I wrote this message, headlines
announced that carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere
reached 400 parts per million. Climate scientists are alarmed
by this sudden spike, which had previously hovered at 300
parts per million. Never before in the Earth’s history had
these concentrations risen so rapidly.
At the same time that carbon dioxide levels have been
rising, extreme weather events caused by global warming
are causing huge social disruptions and dislocations. The
most dramatic weather event in the United States was the
infamous Superstorm Sandy, which devastated the eastern
seaboard. Then, a few weeks later Sandy was surpassed by
super-typhoon Bopha, which drove across the Philippines
leaving hundreds of thousands displaced and at least 900
dead. Parts of Africa, Russia, Pakistan, Colombia, Australia
and China also dealt with deadly flooding. Brazil witnessed
the worst drought in 50 years. Many parts of western Africa
suffered serious flooding between July and September
because of a monsoon.
We continue to support programs that help the poorest
of the poor. In 2012, we donated nearly $10.5 million in
support of agricultural, health, education, and community
development programs that are empowering communities
in developing nations, helping them cope with the myriad
changes they face and provide a needed boost in bettering
their lives. You can read about these programs in the pages
of this report and by visiting our website Planetaid.org.
We look forward to the next 15 years and beyond and
invite you to join us in making the world a more stable,
healthier, and more equitable place for all. Your generous
donations will contribute to a cleaner environment and a
better quality of life for those who have had the least.

5. Mission
Planet Aid’s mission is to inform, mobilize, and inspire individuals
and communities to work together to bring about worldwide
environmental and social progress. Planet Aid recognizes that
the Earth’s resources are finite and that good stewardship is
essential for the well-being of current and future generations.
The projects we support thus aim to protect the environment,
reduce waste, and increase the efficient use of vital resources.
We work to strengthen and organize communities, reduce
poverty, promote small enterprise development, support
sustainable local food production, improve access to training
and quality education, increase health awareness and
encourage healthy lifestyles. We embrace the principles of
equality and self-determination in all that we do and foster
cooperation and understanding among peoples across the
planet. Disadvantaged populations are our priority, and we
seek to empower them to create lasting positive change.
Mission elements:
• Protect the environment, reduce waste, and
increase the efficient use of vital resources.
• Strengthen and organize communities.
• Reduce poverty and promote small
enterprise development.
• Support sustainable local food
production.
• Improve access to training and quality
education.
• Increase health awareness and
encourage healthy lifestyles.
• Foster direct cooperation and
understanding among peoples across the
planet.
• Help disadvantaged populations of the
world create lasting positive change.

6. For the
Environment
By donating clothing and shoes to Planet Aid, you
avoid them from going straight to what is known
as the “solid waste stream.” This is the universal
dumping ground for items we don’t recycle. Our
solid waste usually winds up in one of two places.
It gets buried in a landfill, which can contaminate
soil and groundwater and consume valuable land.
Alternatively, your old clothes may be torched
in a huge incinerator that gives off microscopic
particles that we breathe, and spews out clouds
of greenhouse gases that heat and clog the
atmosphere.
Neither option is good for us or our planet. By
recycling, two good things happen: we eliminate
the need to produce a new item, and we remove
an item from the solid waste stream. What do
we save? Consider this: it takes 250 gallons of
water to grow cotton for one shirt!
Along with saving water, you also help stop
global warming. When textiles are buried in
landfills they naturally release greenhouse
gases (such as methane) as they decompose.
Similarly, at the other end of the spectrum, the
production of textile fibers and the manufacture
of cloth burns considerable quantities of fuel that
releases carbon in the form of carbon dioxide.
(another contributor to global warming). How
much carbon dioxide (or CO2) is saved through
clothing reuse? Approximately 7 pounds of CO2
are saved for every 1 pound of clothing that is
spared from disposal. This means that Planet Aid
effectively saved 770 million pounds of CO2 from
entering the atmosphere last year.
How does this relate to you? Let’s say you fill a
plastic bag with 10 pounds of unwanted clothes
to help a needy person. By donating this single
bag you would have prevented 35 pounds of CO2
gases from polluting the atmosphere. You also
would have saved 7,000 gallons of water, and
avoided the dispersal of a significant quantity of
pesticides. Read more about the environmental
savings of textile recycling at Planetaid.org

7. For the Environment
The amount of resources needed to produce our clothing is
not widely appreciated. For example, approximately 1,000
gallons of water and more than a half-pound of pesticides
are required to grow enough cotton to produce just one
pair of blue jeans, depending on the type.

8. For People
Planet Aid supports development projects
that help individuals and communities
improve the condition of their lives. The
programs—designed by Humana People to
People and implemented by local member
organizations—create the energy and
momentum needed to bring about lasting
long-term development. The programs
focus on spurring action in the areas of
microfinancing, sustainable agriculture,
health and disease prevention, education,
and community development. These
programs are described briefly on the
following pages. For more information visit
our website: Planetaid.org.

9. Microfinancing
Empowering Women — Microfinancing
In rural India, Planet Aid supports microfinance projects
to empower women, providing the leverage they need to
find a way out of poverty. Delivering increased awareness
on household financial management, the project helps lead
to improved nutrition and education opportunities for the
participating families.
As of 2012, the microfinance program engaged 7,500 women
in income generating activities. Women who are involved
in these projects have brought about remarkable changes
in their livelihood, with household income increasing
substantially, along with access to food and education. The
women have also gained decision-making power within the
family, and thus are able to more effectively contribute to
raising their children. For example, more than 1,500 women
participating in the program have been able to acquire health
insurance for their families.

10. Fighting Epidemics — TCE and HOPE
Health and Disease Prevention
Total Control of the Epidemic (TCE), is a community-based
door-to-door behavior change program that educates,
counsels, and mobilizes individuals and communities
in fighting the spread of disease. TCE raises awareness,
confronts and reduces stigma, and encourages people
to take advantage of health services such as HIV testing,
treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, and participation
in maternal and child health programs.
Planet Aid supports TCE in Africa and Asia in the following
countries: India, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, and
Zimbabwe.
Planet Aid also supports the HOPE project, which creates
community centers that conduct outreach programs for
those living with or affected by HIV. Included in the program
activities are organizing volunteers to carry out home-based
care; lessons in nutrition and creating nutrition gardens;
supporting orphans and their caregivers; and forming
positive living clubs, which empower people living with HIV.
Planet Aid supports HOPE in Botswana, India, South Africa
and Zimbabwe.
In 2012—in the South African provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga—the HOPE program reached more than
100,000 people in targeted communities, offering HIV counseling and testing, and caregiving and support for people
living with HIV and AIDS. The program also provided education for the participants’ family caregivers, and helped
establish vegetable gardens to improve nutrition. This initiative has proven to be vital in boosting healthy nutrition
for all community members. In 2012, the program also reached about 3,700 orphaned and vulnerable children with
support as well as relief services, which include supplementary meals offered at the project’s drop-in centers.
9
11. Mobilizing Communities — Child Aid
Child Aid is a community development model that seeks
to improve the conditions under which children live. Every
community has its own unique set of needs, and examining
and addressing those needs from the perspective of how
children may benefit is vital to the long-term health of a
community.
Village Action Groups are the core of Child Aid. They consist
of between 35 and 40 families each who work together on
projects that include building preschools and playgrounds,
organizing youth clubs, offering adult literacy classes, or
initiatives that help reduce maternal and infant deaths.
Planet Aid supports Child Aid in Belize, Botswana, Brazil, China, DR Congo, Ecuador, Laos and South Africa.
Community Development
In 2012, Child Aid in the DR Congo actively participated in the nation’s health, hygiene and sanitation program, which
involved community members establishing water and hygiene facilities locally and in schools. Child Aid organized
11,425 families into 380 family groups to join forces to improve community and family hygiene. Through the national
program, regular lessons, campaigns and individual visits, Child Aid facilitated the construction of 7,000 latrines, and
mobilized families to install more than 18,000 hand-washing facilities. Rainwater capturing systems and more than 110
school latrine buildings were built in 11 rural schools, along with four newly drilled wells for water.

12. Education
Student teachers celebrate the inauguration of the Dowa Teacher Training College
in Malawi in November 2012. The college was established with support from Planet
Aid and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Read more at Planetaid.org.
Educating a New Generation — Teacher Training and Vocational Training
Children in developing countries who are able to obtain
an education grow up to earn higher wages, support
thriving families, and have a chance at breaking the cycle
of poverty. Unfortunately, there is an acute shortage of
well-trained primary school teachers in countries across
Africa and Asia.
DNS Teacher Training is a program developed by
Humana People to People that is helping meet the need
for qualified teachers.Through classroom study, teaching
practice, and development projects, student teachers
obtain the skills needed to make a difference in the lives
of their students and the community.
11
Planet Aid supports DNS teacher-training colleges in
Angola, Guinea-Bissau, India, Malawi, Mozambique, and
the DR Congo.
Planet Aid also supports vocational training in countries
such as Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, and Zimbabwe.The
training curriculum combines theoretical and practical
elements, including traditional school subjects and
general knowledge, with an emphasis on skills training.
During training, students also gain work experience by
interning at a business. Upon graduating they are able
to be employed with a marketable skill or start an
enterprise of their own.
13. In Oio, Guinea-Bissau, Farmers’ Clubs have been focused on
providing solar power to local community centers. Members
are also learning about the importance of renewable energy
and about climate change and its effects. The solar panels will
power 39 water pumps to provide water for irrigation and for
human consumption.
Sustainable Agriculture
Combating Hunger and Poverty — Farmers’ Clubs
The Farmers’ Clubs program is a three- to five-year agricultural development initiative that provides subsistencelevel farmers with a boost, encouraging them to become small-scale commercial farmers. The program provides
training in sustainable farming methods and cash crop production, and introduces new ways of value-chain
processing and marketing. Farmers’ Clubs participants learn to cope with the impacts of climate change and
work together to overcome challenges and solve problems. Planet Aid has been supporting the implementation
of Farmers’ Clubs in Mozambique, Malawi, China, DR Congo, and Guinea-Bissau.

Planet Aid provides training and capacity building assistance
to development organizations around the globe. The
assistance can take various forms, from support in meeting
the requirements of U.S. development agencies to technical
training for program staff.
In July 2012, Planet Aid staff participated in the International
AIDS Conference in Washington, DC. Prior to and during
the conference, Planet Aid assisted representatives of
Humana People to People from Zimbabwe and Spain in
developing and promoting a presentation at the conference.

17. Planet Aid at Home
Planet Aid takes great pride in being a responsible
community member, participating in a multitude of
activities from book donations and clothing drives, to
partnering with organizations, universities and colleges
and other businesses to increase local recycling. We
also offer schools the opportunity to learn about
recycling and international development through
classroom presentations and by visiting a local Planet
Aid operations center.
In 2012, Planet Aid’s 14 operations centers participated
in or sponsored a multitude of community events.
For example, our Kansas City team donated coats,
shoes and blankets to Care of Poor People, a local
organization that helps the homeless. In upstate New
York our continued partnership with the University
of Rochester is helping to increase recycling rates
and reduce trash disposal costs from dormitories.
In Pittsburgh, we partnered with seven area school
districts to conduct environmental programs and
tours. Our North Carolina team donated tennis shoes
to a local church for kids to wear for play. In New
Jersey, we delivered water and other supplies to those
in need after Superstorm Sandy.
In Los Angeles, we entered into a new partnership
with the Los Angeles City Fire Department to
increase local recycling. around fire stations.
Special Issue of the
Planet Aid Post Debuts at
International AIDS Conference
Read it at: planetaid.org/planet-aid-post
In the summer of 2012, Planet Aid
published a special edition of the
Planet Aid Post, which focused on
the effort to end the HIV/AIDS
epidemic. The issue reported on
progress made in combating the
epidemic and how the disease
has been affecting the poor
disproportionately. The Post also
highlighted work being done by the
TCE program in Africa and Asia to
stop the disease.
16
This special issue of the Post was
distributed nationwide by Planet
Aid staff across our 14 service
areas. A special campaign was also
launched to distribute the Post to
participants at the Nineteenth
International AIDS Conference
held in Washington, D.C. In total,
more than 4,000 copies of the
Post were directly distributed by
Planet Aid staff and volunteers to
attendees at the conference.
