I'm going to keep this week's post really short due to being sick with some bug I caught over Christmas break. My brain is in a bit of a fog, but I'll give this my best shot.
My green idea for Week 52 - the final week of my green challenge - is sharing and/or swapping belongings to reduce waste.
Ideas for sharing gently-used items include:
- Offer clothing you no longer wear to friends who wear the same size as you.
- Host a clothing swap or rummage sale where a group of people can trade gently-used items for things they like.
- Donate clothing or household items to a local charity.
- Pet supplies can be donated to the local animal shelter or humane society.
- Swap books with friends who have the same taste in reading material.
- Re-gift items that you are unlikely to use (but never re-gift to the person who gave it to you!).
- Join your local "swap and shop" group on Facebook to trade or sell/buy belongings.
What are some ways you have gone green by sharing and/or swapping belongings? Share your ideas in the comments below.
