Trying to find new homes for good as new, useful household items, and consignment and donation places won't take them because "they don't sell." The fancier it is, the less they want it. Or if a small appliance isn't in the original packaging. People are buying that same stuff new every day. If you care about the #ClimateCrisis , #BuyUsed . You get great, clean stuff for a fraction of retail and little impact on the environment. Deacquisition is harder than it should be. I've stopped shopping.

My 2012 Mac Mini had a few 420 stickers on when I purchased it, so I decided at first to clean it with GooGone and alcohol.
I later decided to put some black vinyl on it!
I forgot to take a picture as I got it, so the first one is by the ebay seller prophetstore.

Getting married? This guide to #SecondhandWeddingDresses is a great place to start your #SustainableWedding journey. I just tried on my grandmother's dresses (yes, plural!) to see how I'll alter them. Considering she was 10" shorter, this should be interesting…

I love my local second hand shop. They never question my somewhat alarming towel buying habit. Until I had pets, I never realized what an important resource towels of all sizes are.

#3goodthings 1. Double score at the local used shop: hardback copy of #wsmerwin ’s Shadow of Sirius for $10, and a copy of the Long Discourses of the Buddha, a book that costs $50 new, for $25 #buylocal #buyused #poetry #bookstadon 2. One of my oldest and best friends gave me a #startrek mug for #christmas when we met up for coffee today. 3. I got something like three hours of sleep last night, but haven’t experienced much negative fallout from it

While my fellow Americans mindfully give 🙏 this weekend, it’s a perfect time to implement some simple swaps to make your day-to-day living more sustainable. And while a truly #CircularEconomy requires structural and individual change, we each can play a role in fighting #ClimateChange.

Here are 22 ways you can make sustainable changes at home ➡️ https://www.treehugger.com/sustainable-home-swaps-6744228

🤍 GRATEFUL 🤍 Today & every day.

In advance of #SecondhandSunday, Denny & I want to show you just how great #SecondhandFashion can look. I found this dress at an Oxfam shop in 2018; the hat is 10+ years old. Den's shirt & shorts came from vintage & thrift stores -- he's now a #SecondhandFirst convert.

An Android 12 ready phone with a capable camera at around PhP4K? Get a used/refurbished Pixel 3a/3a XL. The 64GB non-expandable storage isn't a deal-breaker because you can just pair it with a 128GB USB-C flash drive (~PhP500) via OTG.
