I Recycle

We Live In A Throw Away Society... How many times have you heard-oh well, I can just get another one?  when what you have is perfectly good, but you want the latest model, more of the same..or just to make space?

well, in my attempt to simplify my life and believe me, it is an ongoing battle, I try to find a home for everything that has some good in it. I think I might be going to extreme, but let me give yousome examples:  i donate flower pots to the horticultural society., soda tabs to Ronald McDonald house, all my business suits go to Dress for Success, furniture, can goods, books go to our local homeless shelter.  Pet supplies goes to the animal shelters and rescue leagues..my extra quilting fabric goes to a family in the Appalachians who earns their living selling homemade quilts..The garbage man gets very little from my house each week.

it pains me to see people not recycling..to see bags of clothes in the garbage taking up landfill space.  what amazes me is that there are needs all over the world..If you can't think big, donate small.  Feel grateful, share your wealth...

Now there is an extreme group that dumpster dives..looking for edible food and supplies..I am not at the point yet...
