If you want to feel good and simultaneously do some good for the earth, I suggest you check out Freecycle.org
Freecycle is a nonprofit, grassroots movement with 5,000+ groups worldwide.
People give/get stuff for free, locally.
The movement is saving you from being sucked into the corporate wormhole; Buy. Break. Toss. Repeat.
Help you $$$ SAVE MONEY$$$ and give yourself the opportunity to find cool, new-to-you stuff.
The best part? Things that are still good and usable stay out of landfills!
If you’re living in/around Oakville, ON and you want to see more of my stuff, there is another market Sun 21 10am-4pm @ the same place posted above.
Today went well at the x-mas craft sale. :]
I got to speak to some great people and inspire others about reusing and being consumer-conscious.
I had some great conversations brainstorm sessions with people mainly about reusing the plastic ‘shell’ of pens and finding a way to make my Reversed Pigment (a.k.a Bleachers) clothing more environmentally friendly.
My next goal in regards to that is “bleaching” clothing with high-grade peroxide or a lemon juice/vinegar mix.
I’ll let readers know the results.
I’m so happy being able to get out there and talk to people. Just to get the ball rolling, and to INSPIRE!!!
One of the thoughts I brought up (in general terms and not in any way about my own creations)
Focus on the products you buy.
Who you support.
Where it comes from.
How much material is in it, and if that material is actually necessary.
