Here’s a Post I happened upon written by Julia Steinberger on the WorldChanging.com website. Thought it would help to show that I may not be as crazy as one might first think (notice the deliberate use of the ”may/might” qualifiers). The site it is taken from is an amazing source of information on all things, well, world changing, thus the name WorldChanging ~ It’s got a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
Here’s the entry and the link… (Note that Julia provides a lot of links…If they don’t work from here and you’d like to check them out, go directly to her post on the WorldChanging site.)
“Resource: How Can I Recycle This?
We’ve seen a wealth of resources out there for connecting one man’s trash with the proverbial other man (or woman) out there who will see it as a treasure. From Freecycle to Throwplace, we applaud these matchmaker enterprises, because they offer not only an alternative to throwing things out (or buying them new), but also a new, bright green, method for thinking and acting cooperatively.
Worldchanging ally ReadyMade recently turned us on to a blog in the UK that takes this idea in a new direction. Instead of helping you give away your old junk, How Can I Recycle This encourages you to keep it, and solicit ideas from fellow bloggers about how to re-purpose it into something useful (or at least desirable).
