Our consumer-driven society is one that results in a great deal of waste. From food waste to packaging to disposable items, there are a lot of resources being used by humans. This consumption of resources — and the waste it produces — is not sustainable. Nor is it healthy. Take Care of Your Things.

Used clothing, toys, and necessities sell very well. Things like bassinets and newborn clothing are in high demand and sell quickly! Not only will you save money on groceries, but it also helps prevent food waste. We had an old bedframe lying around for about two years, and it sold for $65. Have you got kids?

Makeup, nail polish, and clothes. I haven’t worn makeup in about twenty years or so, I can’t remember the last time I painted my nails, and I detest shopping for clothes. But I had to SHOP for clothes. Cloth diapering. And I am more conscious of eating leftovers and avoiding food waste.

It can be anything from kids’ toys to storybooks, recipes, school supplies, kids’ clothes, DIY craft supplies—you name it. I’m not trying to be a crusader or anything, but I do my best to avoid wasting food, especially in light of how lucky my family and I are to have as much as we need to eat.
