I would at least keep it for 20 years of remorse before taking it to the charity shop... Strasser's book on waste was fab. A bit boring, I thought, in the middle but it picked up again. Thanks for visiting my blog!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094176049881003957.post-74718501959533145052015-12-16T03:44:04.881-06:002015-12-16T03:44:04.881-06:00When I find the S sizes it's often near brand ...When I find the S sizes it's often near brand new, where the lsrger ones are a bit more used. I tend to think it's from around 12 year olds who've grown out of them quickly. An age group that probably won't accept second hands readily, perhaps that's why the shops don't want them... Well just my luck wearing that size below the waste: never short of good jeanses, recently found myself the most perfect fitting skinny black jeanses, two pairs plus one blue.Le-Chathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14799726291277538990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094176049881003957.post-11605585868211132902015-11-17T18:33:55.330-06:002015-11-17T18:33:55.330-06:00I read somewhere that there is no "away"...I read somewhere that there is no "away" when you throw things away. I wish there was a separate pick up service for routing usable things to community free stores. I heard some small town(?) dumps/transfer stations have an area where people can take things they need.tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162700002626998011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094176049881003957.post-26553094543032121402015-11-16T02:38:24.569-06:002015-11-16T02:38:24.569-06:00We do live in a wasteful society.

Maybe it is because younger people tend to be both smaller and less frugal.Jessica@CapeofDreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09382676850458771586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094176049881003957.post-35718630834346075672015-11-15T19:34:24.636-06:002015-11-15T19:34:24.636-06:00Thank you, yes, plenty of waste in the land of ple...Thank you, yes, plenty of waste in the land of plenty.<br />In my mother's homeland, a person would pick up a dropped piece of bread and kiss it out of respect. Nothing taken for granted in that place and time.tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162700002626998011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094176049881003957.post-65278204766411442922015-11-15T18:36:09.114-06:002015-11-15T18:36:09.114-06:00Clothing Poverty sounds like an interesting read! ...Clothing Poverty sounds like an interesting read! It's a shame those perfectly good clothes get thrown away - I'm glad you pick them out and give them a second life, rather than ending up in the landfill.Insomniac's Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713662124096176176noreply@blogger.com
