Today
we are urged to stop and give another look to whatever we were about
to throw away.
Could
that thing be recycled? Reused? Made into art? Donated to charity?
Given to a friend? Sold on e-Bay or in a yard sale?
I
have two thoughts here:
First,
it is very dangerous to look too hard at everything you want to throw
away, because you can become paralyzed. I can think of a way to use
almost everything that qualifies as trash or garbage in either a
craft or a science experiments.
But as great as that would be for the
landfills, it would be terrible for my house and side yard and
garage!
However...
Second,
it's very worthwhile to set aside perfectly fine things for a
once-a-month drop-off at a charity/thrift store, rather than filling
up landfills with old-but-working items and barely-worn-but-outgrown
clothes. Also, many people give gifts in December...so it's the
perfect time to be collecting items to be repurposed or upcycled!
