Today in class we had a discussion about the notion of gratitude. It is interesting to think about how much we really appreciate the things we own. As stated multiple times in our blog, our culture revolves around convenience. This simple idea has rooted many of our bad habits of our nation. It is the reason we created plastic water bottles, disposable silverware, straws and paper towels.
We have been taking active steps to decreasing our usage of these types of things but starting now we will think twice about throwing away our physical possessions and getting the most out of what we own. Things like clothes, shoes, cups, towels, PILLOWCASES, and other things we will think twice about before throwing away. Another way to ensure we get the most out of our things is trying to recycle them and give them away. For example, instead of throwing away a pair of shoes or a sweatshirt lets try to bring them to goodwill or donate them to another organization or person. Because everyone knows, "one man's trash is another man's treasure." :)
Happy Saving!
