I was just thinking about living green, and I wondered what people’s main reasons for joining/using Rehash are. Clearly there’s a strong component of the site that promotes living green. I think a lot of us get very caught up in the trading, the mailing, the getting new stuff, but I think sometimes we forget how much of a difference we are making here. |

I’d say many, if not all of the people I know (especially family members…Argh) still just toss things (like a perfectly good divided make-up holder for bathroom counter/vanity, just because they didn’t want to clean it). Sometimes it gets on my nerves a bit. I would like to implement everything you listed in the near future. I do some of them, but am far from perfect. I curbside recycle everything I can. I don’t think there is a way I can force any one else I know to do the same though. Things still get tossed into their garbage cans because they don’t feel like walking to the recycling bins. I’ve been wanting to get some Dr. B’s for cleaning, etc. for quite a while now, but haven’t picked it up yet. Number 7 would actually be the hardest for me to implement around here. There are very few places super close to me (couple of schools, small park or two, and trees). Also, the closest bus stop would probably take me at least an 1 hr to walk to…maybe if I was walking super fast, lol. I could probably use the exercise as of late though (been slacking a little). As for the boxes, mailers, etc….I’ve pretty much always done this, as much as possible, when I can. I’ve also been known to hoard empty skincare bottles/jars in case I might need them for something else too, lol! I still have a long, long way to go as far as living green is concerned, but hopefully I’ll get there. Great post, btw! |

I rehash for many of the obvious reasons… but here is one more… it’s a extension of “Pay it Forward”. I regularly give stuff away that I don’t need/use anymore. It makes me feel good to give and rehash allows me to give to a whole new world of people. If shipping were free, I wouldn’t ask for anything in return. On several occasions I have offered to just let people pay for shipping (see my Duran Duran collection). In fact, I have a deadline of June 20th to clear out my rehash collection so we can have a guest. So, all you watchers out there may get a surprise package if I have your address… Lomita (near Los Angeles), CA |
