We could all benefit from a reassessment of our waste and a simpler life style.<br /><br />You wouldn't believe the outcry when our city went to every other week garbage service and weekly food scrap recycling (picked up with yard debris). With all the curbside recycling options, we don't even fill our garbage can in two weeks. <br /><br />I am thankful for growing up with a mother who taught me the value of a simple life.Dottie Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14493180344799400590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889326088387289258.post-19783804571695590812012-02-25T17:20:01.646-08:002012-02-25T17:20:01.646-08:00Dottie Mae the Dumpster Diver!

Also had me thinking of how disposal of "stuff" became such a huge issue when I moved to the USA after I had grown up always having a big sector of the population glad to recycle whatever you don't want - food, clothing, household goods, anything. Sometimes possessions could be redistributed or liberated from you before you even knew you were ready to part with them. It kept us living lean and without accumulation of possessions. Nobody has storage units in South Africa. You post also had me thinking about the Bainbridge island family who organize the rag pickers at the Rotary Auction and then have a party of free gifts from this for children - I think they might have something on it on their blog: <br />http://pioneeringthesimplelife.wordpress.com/category/voluntary-simplicity/kdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01718944807708102690noreply@blogger.com
