Owning excessive clothing wastes resources and energy, and increases environmental burdens. To solve this problem, sustainable wardrobe management is required. Therefore, I developed the worksheets as Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) for solving this consumer problem from a home economics perspective. The LCI worksheets might be utilized by the ESD lesson in high school. In order to confirm it, this paper shows the results that the university students tested the LCI worksheets. Because it was expected that it was difficult for the high school students, I inspected the technique of LCI by the university students who had already learned school home economics. I clarified the problem for high school students. The mean of number of the garments which they owned was 111 (24.4kg). It included 17 (5.0 kg) garments that they did not wear for a long time. The results of the LCI were divided into two groups. The first group had consciousness of owing excessive clothing, and the other group did not have such consciousness. The group with consciousness had been reflected in their decision-making. Additionally, the LCI worksheets have helped university students improve their wardrobe management. In conclusion, I think that the LCI worksheets were effective for discovering their wardrobe problems.
