Rejected petition I would like more Rent/loan clothes shops in england so people don waste clothes

I would like more charity and Rent/loan clothes shops in England because the amount of clothes that go to waste 350 thousand tonnes per year in the UK this is a huge impact on Climate change.

More details

I want the Government/Parliament to do this because I feel that there isn't enough of these shops and charity bins in the UK as a whole.
An example for this is because 350 thousand tonnes of clothes goes to waste each year in the UK and that is not only a waste of money but huge impact towards climate change. Also I feel like more clothes could go towards people who need it and the poor. I also think people deserve more Rent/loan shops so they could buy clothes and return them, not waste them.
