Recycle with your neighbors!

Craigslist is the best way to recycle unwanted items in good condition.   Our local school is having a  huge clothing sale and the details are on Craigslist to alert the community.

Your kids might have the BEST "green" ideas

My son outgrew his new sneakers in about a month.  I was happy to get him another pair, but I didn't want to throw the old pair in the trash.  Many consignment stores are really picky with used shoes.  I wasn't sure what to do with them.  I decided to ask him about it.  He had a wonderful idea.  He said, "Mom, why don't I take them to the school nurse?  She is always looking for extra pairs of shoes that aren't very used."  I thought this was a fantastic idea!  The next day he took the shoes to the nurse and she was thrilled.  The nurse said, "This is like a gift.  I really like it. Thank you!"  What a great way to recycle and help a child who might need shoes someday at school.  Thanks J :-)
