Tvind used clothes companies in the USA and Canada

		U'SAgain:    For-profit clothes recycling company, masquerading as charity, based in Chicago, collecting there and in Atlanta, Houston, Ft. Worth, Seattle, New York and, soon, Philadelphia.  Run by members of the Teachers Group who share a house with Gaia staff.   more
		Gaia:   The Gaia-Movement Trust Living Earth Green World Action in the Chicago area.   Collects for supposed environmental projects but linked to a Swiss trust located at an accommodation address, and no real evidence of charity work despite extravagant claims    more
		Planet Aid:    Planet Aid (USA and Canada).   Original US Tvind used clothes collector.   Claims money raised goes to humanitarian projects   In fact many clothes sold direct to Tvind commercial companies such as Garson & Shaw.  Exposed in Canada by Toronto Star   more
		Garson and Shaw Inc:   Commercial clothes trading, selling clothes collected by Tvind recycling charities in the USA to markets in eastern Europe through London and Gibraltar.  Not a charity.

Four closely-related used clothing companies, run by members of the Teachers Group who all know each other well, share the Tvind philosophy, and trade clothes to and fro - 'for charity',  for profit and frequently in a mixture of the two.  All part of Tvind.

U'SAgain and Gaia are both based in Chicago:  TG members from the two companies share rented accommodation in Algonquin, IL (known to non-TG associates as 'the cult compound').

Gaia purchased its warehouse with a loan from the Chicago Community Loan Fund, and funding has been extended.  Complaints have been made to the CCLF that Gaia is not a proper charity.

Planet Aid collects clothes mostly in eastern areas of the USA.   TG staff from Planet Aid have moved to become managers at the other companies.

Garson and Shaw, also run by senior Teachers Group members, buys clothes from the other three and sells them abroad.   A recent memo shows that Garson and Shaw and U'SAgain are involved in a plan to sell clothes to Mexican traders in Texas.
