OK, I confess, I am bragging...this is me winning the Environmental Award at the annual awards night for the Comox Valley Home Based Business Association. Given that so much of what people let go of is donated to charity, members recognized my work for keeping 'stuff'out of the landfill.
Remember: it is unusual for North Americans to actually wear something out; chances are, someone else will appreciate and make use of something that you know longer want, use or need.
