Reuse
Busting The Myth
Have you ever been called cheap because you wash and reuse things? I Have.We want to succeed. We desire success. But does....
Wealth = Waste?
Have we become so wealthy as a nation that we turn up our noses to the thought of using things more than once?
We live in wasteful times. For proof drive around your neighborhood on trash day.
You'll see trash cans bulging with plastic trash bags. Better yet check out offices, schools or other public places on their trash day.
Where does all this trash go if it's not reused? Land fills for one. All of that 'stuff'... now trash, took a lot of energy, raw materials, and time to create. Now it's useless, buried or burned.
Bust The Myth
Didn't you get the memo? Trash is in!
I'm sure you've heard these terms: Trash To Treasure Previously Owned Cars Refurbished Furniture And my all time favorite...
Antiques!!
What's In A Name?
A Whole Lot! I have 'stuff'.. My husband calls it junk.. The nerve :).Would you pay $5oo for an old dresser? Probably not.Would you pay $5oo for an Victorian Style Antique Three Drawer Chest (Someone will - I just saw one on line for $550 :). On the one hand you have an 'old dresser' - on the other a 'Victorian Style Antique. See what I mean?Do what you have to do! Call it what you want. Don't be embarrassed. Stop planting things in land fills. This is one 'game' I think we should let planet earth win...Reduce Recycle
