Things require time and effort, forget about the wrappings they come in and the fact that everything is going to end up at the transfer station sooner or later. And STILL we're hauling a couple of 30 gallon garbage bags out of here every week. I am mortified.

We could really push things to their limit!<br /><br />But, then, we'd have rooms full of Stuff and spend a lot of time doing things we're not sure make as much a difference (the whole argument about how recycling uses fossil fuels is one in which I note Walt wisely chose not to engage.)tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.com
