A way of life - to take what the world has to offer us and use it as we need it then pass it on not throw it out.
Reuse, refurbish, recycle, up-cycle. If you can look at it and be interested, intrigued, or imagine it somewhere in your yard or home then why should it be thrown away?
I have never bought a new piece of furniture! I recycle everything including appliances.
Have a look at this site info [!at] antiquesaregreen.org
Then have a look at you garbage, can any of it be recycled?
