Hey guys, it's Tracy with Young Hollywood. Welcome to my crib. So March is finally here and I'm so excited because that means it's almost springtime. And Young Hollywood is going green for this spring. So we've teamed up with H&M for a really, really exciting eco-friendly program all about spring cleaning and what to do with your clothes once you throw them away. So I'm going to show you guys how it's done and I'm ready to get started because this needs to be cleaned. So often times when you throw away your clothes, all of the stuff just ends up going to waste, but you could actually recycle them instead and then all the garments can get made into new fashion items. You can donate your bags to any store location and in return you can get 15% off any one item of your choice for anything in the store. That's a pretty great deal. So, the cool thing about this program is that it could be any single clothing item from any brand and any condition. So you can have a dirty sock and throw it in or you could even have something like this old frock. Done. Recycled. Ugly. Good color, but no. Done. Really? Oh, and by the way, if you do all this before March 31st and bring in your bags to any H&M location, you'll get 15% off your entire purchase. Boom. Go and do this. Hurry up. See you later. M3. Oh my gosh, that was so exhausting. But it's for such a good cause. So I am now ready to get all of this stuff in bags and the next step is to get all of this over to H&M so I can get my voucher. Let me go. Let me go. Let me go. Okay, guys. There we go, we're going, we're going.

Young Hollywood

Hey, how you doing? H&M Employee: How are you?

Young Hollywood

Wow, nice. I have a lot of stuff going on. A lot. So I'm ready to donate for the Conscious and Hall program. H&M Employee: put it right in the H&M donation box. Cool. Get started. Boy, you got a lot of stuff.

Young Hollywood

I have a lot of stuff. I'm just so excited that it goes to such a good cause. H&M Employee: Absolutely. We're excited to have that. Okay, that's it?

Young Hollywood

Yep. H&M Employee: Okay, perfect. Then let me give you your voucher for 15% off one item of your choice.

Young Hollywood

Thank you. H&M Employee: You're absolutely welcome.

Young Hollywood

I'm so excited. I just got my 15% off voucher. I'm going to pick an awesome item in the store. I am ready to shop. So I just tried on a bunch of different super cute looks and I fell in love with this jacket. I think it's so awesome. And this white shirt, and this purse, and this pair of pants. So I am ready to go buy this and use my coupon. H&M Employee: So it comes to 81. 84. And you have the voucher. Perfect. So we're gonna take it off the jacket, right?

Young Hollywood

Yes. H&M Employee: Perfect. That is a great, great deal, you guys. See, 71. 84 is your new total with that. So thank you very much and have a good day. Until next time.

Young Hollywood

So much. H&M Employee: You're welcome.

Young Hollywood

So I just got my discount. I have a brand new outfit to wear. I am stoked about this. I am going to be back at the store, H&M. I love it. See you guys later. So now that you just saw how the donating process works from beginning to end, here's how you can participate. All you have to do is follow four easy steps. Number one, clean out your closet. Number two, take up to two bags of clothes per day to be recycled at any H&M store location. Number three, receive a 15% off voucher on any one item of your choice. And number four, get your shopping spree on. It's as simple as that and you're taking part in a really good cause that will help save our environment. So we have a really fun contest for you guys. Send us any photos that show you participating in the H&M donating program. And we will select the top 10 photos from 10 lucky winners. The top 10 photos will also be featured on younghollywood. com.
