- 12 Easy & Fun Reuse Solutions for Back To School that are Good for Your Kids, Your Wallet & The Planet
My sister and I visiting our old elementary school. As many people have been talking about their kids going back to school, it got me thinking about all of the new stuff people buy. I looked up some recent info and according to the National Retail Federation and Prosper Insights & Analytics' annual survey, families with children in elementary through high school plan to spend an average of $863.86 on clothing, shoes, electronics and school supplies. For most families, that's A LOT of money. But it doesn't have to be nearly that much. And as someone who hasn't bought "new" clothes, shoes, or electronics in over 18 years, I know there are a lot of options out there. But hey, I vividly remember the fun of Back to School shopping. I'd go with my mom to places like Marshalls, Caldor and Hardcorps Surf & Skate. It was exciting to have something new and different. But "new" doesn't have to mean "brand new." There are plenty of things out there that can be new to a person, but they don't have to be new to the planet. And those things can bring you the same good feelings, and they can surely save you money as you will see below. Also, yes, I'm aware that school starts real soon for most and I know some people have started already. But I also remember waiting until the last minute to buy school supplies because of camps, vacations, etc. Alright. I hope you enjoy the list. And let me know in the comments if you end up choosing any of these solutions and the benefits you got. Cheers! KEY FOR BELOW (π€) Benefits the People - can still fit your interests and tastes, custom, personalized, fun (π) Benfits the Planet - save resources, keep items out of the landfill (π°) Benefits the Wallet - save money 1. Backpacks (π π°) - Now, this is probably the thing that most kids would be OK with using from last year, which is obviously the best way to reuse. But there are plenty of other options. Here are over 230,000 pre-owned backpack options on eBay alone. On the higher end of things, Alchemy Goods is a company that I had a booth next to once. They make great bags out of advertising banners and bike tires! And be sure to check your local thrift store. They always have some. 2. Books (π π°) - Books are less common now than when I was in school, but they're always going to play some role in education, especially for college students. And books are a huge problem, as many people buy them brand new only to read once and many thrift stores don't even take them. Used books are almost always a fraction of the cost too. Half Price Books is a great resource to find books online and at one of their many brick and morter stores. Other places to look online are eBay and ThriftBooks. There are plenty of local used book stores out there too, so be sure to check your area. Here's my favorite: Used Book Superstore in Massachusetts. They bought hundreds of books from me during a massive house cleanout a few years ago. (Photo courtesy of bringmetoburlington.com) 3. Book Covers (π€ π π°) - It's funny. I didn't think book covers were still a thing with so much on computers, but then I talked to my friend Rachael with 3 sons and she let me know it's definitely a thing. She sent me this great video tutorial to make them out of paper bags, just like I did as a kid. And the great thing with that is you can decorate them however you want. Instead of looking at a boring text book image, you kid can see their artwork, favorite athletes or musicians. Now, if you're like me and don't ever get paper bags, you probably know someone with a collection in their house or could even get some at the recycling center. Thanks to Welcome To Nanas for letting us use her video. Check out her site for more kids crafts and reuse projects. You'll find her at https://WelcomeToNanas.com. 4. Bookmarks (π€ π π°) - This is one of those things that I can't understand ever spending any money on. But I know it's nice to have something that fits your interest or style. Start by looking around your house or room. You could use anything from a birthday card to a trading card. If you want a custom one, you can decorate a piece of scrap card stock and attach a string. Just type "upcycled bookmark ideas" into an image search and you're bound to find something that strikes a chord. How many kids (and adults) would love this PokΓ©mon card book mark? 5. Clothing (π€ π π°) - This one is probably the most obvious and fortunately, most practiced these days. Buying used clothing for kids, especially as they are younger and grow so fast, just makes a whole lot of sense. And there are endless ways to find the clothes they want; whether it's hand me downs from friends and family, thrift stores, or online outlets. With my apparel brand STAY VOCAL, I offer an entire line of 1 of a Kind Reuse T-Shirts, so kids could go to school with a shirt that nobody else in the world has. My cousin's son wearing his 1 of a Kind T-Shirt of one of his favorite comic characters. 6. Ear Pods / Headphones (π€ π π°) - This may sound a little gross at first, but there are always disinfectants and you can find many options that are certified refurbished with warranties. These are certainly harder to find in the wild at thrift stores, but here are over 1,000 options on eBay. 7. Laptops (π π°) - You can save hundreds of dollars buying a pre-owned laptop. And just like with the headphones, you can find a ton that are certified refurbished with warranties. Here's a list of over 3500 certified refurbished laptops on eBay. In many cases, you'll also be supporting a small USA based business, who focuses on repair and helps keeps things out of our landfill. Apple also has an entire section of certified refurbished laptops and other electronics. 8. Lunch bags (π€ π π°) - Fortunately, bringing a reusable lunch container is popular again, but you don't have to spend a lot of money on a brand new one. Here's over 6000 pre-owned lunch bag options on eBay alone. And if you have a kid who is really into vintage 80s or 90s things, you could always opt for a vintage lunchbox. Here's over 15,000 options for that! My vintage ALF and Pac-Man lunchboxes. 9. Notebooks, Sketch Pads. etc. (π€ π) - Notebooks are one of those things that understandably you might not want to buy used, but first I would recommend checking to see what you have leftover from last year. It's amazing how many half used notebooks I found while sorting out some school things a few years ago. If money is less of an issue here and you want something with more style, you can find some totally unique upcycled notebooks made from book covers, game boards, videtape boxes and more on etsy. My scrap paper notebook made with a Polar Seltzer box. Thanks Amy! 10. Pencil Cases (π€ π π°) - The most inexpensive and personalized option here would be to find a durable box or container around the house and decorate it with stickers, drawings, words, etc. But if there is something specific in mind, you don't have to spend a lot of money on a brand new one. Here's around 5000 pre-owned pencil case options on eBay alone. And if you're really feeling crafty, below is a tutorial on making an awesome looking case out of scrap cardboard. 11. Sneakers (π€ π π°) - Ah yes... sneakers. It's been a thing and continues to be a thing. But like with clothing, people's tastes for sneakers come and go. There are some great online resources for sneakers these days like Grailed and Poshmark. And here are over 2 million pre-owned sneaker options on eBay. Yes... 2 million. And be sure to check your local thrift store. I've found so many great pairs of sneakers for under $10 at thrift stores over the years and sometimes they don't even look worn. 12. Writing Utensils (π π°) - Before you go and buy a bunch of writing utensils, be sure to check around the house. This is how people end up with clogged junk drawers in desks and kitchens. And if you're lucky enough to have a creative reuse store in your area, they surely have some things for you and super cheap. I got a bunch of like-new sharpies at one recently for 25 cents each. A pile of writing utensils I saw at a creative reuse center in North Carolina.
- With T-Shirts, It's an Easy Choice To Make a Positive Impact
The other day, I designed a new sign for STAY VOCAL events. I wanted to make a quicker explanation of the brand, rather than the short essays that I tend to write. And I decided on a closing slogan of, "Be a part of the solution, not the problem." Yesterday was my first event that I did with it. Many people read the sign and then either looked through the shirts, talked to me briefly about the brand, or bought something. But one couple read the sign and scoffingly said something to the effect of, "Well, that's a bit much." Sure, it may be a dose of harsh reality, but I think about how many gallons of water it takes to make 1 T-Shirt: 700+ gallons, which is enough water for 3 people to drink in a year. THAT is a "bit much." If I had a choice between those two things, I'd certainly opt to give water to 3 people for a year. Droughts are affecting so much of the world right now. The slogan is not a judgement. It's just a fact. With every single that choice we make, we can either be a part of the problem or a part of the solution. We have so much power to make a positive impact. And hey, none of us are perfect. We're all "part of the problem" in various ways. But when it comes to things as easily accessible as T-Shirts, it's a lot easier to be a part of the solution. Used options are everywhere: Thrift Stores, Vintage Shops, eBay, Depop, your mom's closet, the list goes on... Some of you have been hearing me talk about this since I first started making reuse T-Shirts over 20 years ago. But the problems are still here and in fact, they're worse. But the solutions are still here too and in fact, they work. Whenever you need to buy anything at all, consider a used option. That's the mindset we need to start with.
- Less Part of the Problem and More Like A Trash Panda
Pittsburgh has been on my mind a bit lately, as has been finding positive outlets when we face problems in our lives. Reuse is always on my mind and somewhere along the way, my brain went to this great memory involving those things. Four years ago, I finally got to see a BordaloII art piece in person; a giant raccoon art piece made with discarded trash at Construction Junction in Pittsburgh. When it comes to problems in our lives and in our world, we have choices: we can be a part of the problem, we can complain about the problem, or we can find a way to be a part of the solution for the problem. And being a part of the solution can come in many forms; even in the shape of a raccoon.
- Are You Just Always Going or Are You Always Growing?
No matter who you are (individual, business, country, etc), the best thing that we can do for growth is slow down and reflect. Look backward and look forward. What worked? What didn't? What can we do better? Constantly moving forward doesn't leave a lot of time to think. I personally do this every Monday.
- We Have The Power...
We have the power... ... to make choices that make us feel better. ... to choose who gets our irreplaceable time. ... to choose who gets our hard-earned money. ... to choose what we put in our body. ... to choose what we put on our body. ... to turn things off. ... to look up. ... to look at facts. ... to know what we actually need; not what advertisers think we need. ... to create less waste. ... to build a better future. ... to share good news. ... to make good news. ... to make hundreds of small impactful choices every day. ... to do so much as individuals. ... to start RIGHT NOW.
- How are You Impacting the Next 250 Years?
If you're celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the UNITED States this weekend, how is your celebration helping to ensure that our next generations celebrate another 250 years, or even 50 years? π If we want this country to survive, we can't just focus on an exciting celebration and fleeting instant gratifications for ourselves. π If we truly care about where we live, we have to care FOR where we live. π If we can celebrate past accomplishments, then we can also celebrate what has worked in the past and what isn't working now. Real progress is not a race to a finish line. 𧨠Real progress involves reflection, honesty, learning, and adjustments. Every day, it's clear that all of our actions create a ripple effect and that we are all in this together. This weekend, be safe, have fun, and most importantly.... care about your impact. We wanted that from our ancestors and future generations will certainly have wanted it from us. π€
- The Future Of Recycling?
This spring, I took part in two recycling conferences. There was obviously a lot of talk there about recycling, but fortunately, there were plenty of people focused on reuse too. I had a lot of uplifting conversations with people making great strides with reuse solutions for our waste problem and I'm already in the works to collaborate with some of them. But even after these conferences in 2026, I'm still asking the same question that I've been asking for nearly two decades. Why is recycling so much more focused on than reuse? Is taking a glass bottle that was used once and sending it to a recycler to break it down and make the same exact bottle again really better than washing the bottle and using it again? Is that a better use of time, money, and resources? The answer has been obvious to me for years and it still is. NO! Recycling has a place. But it's not the place that we've been led to believe. Sure, as I'm going through an unearthed box of my old school papers, there isn't a good reuse solution for many of them, so recycling is a good option. And paper recycling has actually been done well. But I'm certainly saving a lot of it for scrap paper or to print on. Fun fact: I haven't bought a new ream of paper in over 18 years. Some of my old school papers that I've been sorting. One thing that I heard people talking about at the conferences was the "the future of recycling." There was discussion about new machinery, investments in technology for recycling plants, etc. But the future of recycling can't just keep moving forward in the name of "progress." We can't just turn our back to the past. It's imperative that we pause, look back, and reflect. We can't continue to perpetuate single use items because they "can" be recycled. The 50+ year trial run hasn't worked even remotely close to what it was set out to do. Just like we can't manufacture our way out of this waste mess, we can't recycle our way out of it either. The future of recycling is looking back to times when recycling didn't exist and seeing what worked for hundreds of years. The future of recycling is promoting recycling as the solution that comes after reusing existing things as much as possible. The future of recycling is simply realizing that recycling has a place, but it's not at the top. You can take a deeper dive into the recycling vs reuse battle in my series of Recycling is Overrated blog posts here.
- Retiring The REUSE! Box Truck After 10 Years
Northeastern University in Boston, MA, where both Deek and I went to college. Wow. I can't believe that it's been 10 years since Deek and I launched the Reuse Box Truck Tiny House project! And after just rewatching that promo video, I'm so happy to say that all of our original ideas happened and a whole lot more. We... Built a home from 99.9% used materials Brought reuse education to 25 states Took part in over 100 events Hosted over 20,000 people in the house and gave them guided reuse tours Had nearly 1 million people watch our award winning documentary or the featured tour video Directly inspired 3 different house builds (and these are ones that we know of) With that being said, Deek and I have decided that 2026 is the last year of touring with the truck. The vehicle itself turned 20 this year and all of the drives have certainly taken a toll on it. But this definitely isn't the end of the road for the truck and its reuse education. The plan is to park the box truck in longterm locations and make it something that people visit, instead of vice versa. We'll be able to continue to do in-person tours and also virtual tours around the world. We'll of course still be doing speaking engagements, film screenings, and workshops, but just traveling differently. But for rest of 2026, we're actively booking as many events as possible. You can see our confirmed events here and there are many more penciled in. We have a lot of fall events coming with schools back in session. October is especially going to be very busy with National Reuse Day on October 20th and Sustainability Day is on the last Wednesday of the month (28th this year). And we plan to do events right through the end of the year in December. We do have great heat in the truck. ο»ΏSo, do you want to get in on the last chance to attend or host an event with the truck? Students at Rye Country Day School in Rye, NY Our typical hosts are K-12 schools, colleges & universities, towns, environmental groups, businesses, and festivals. Maybe you or someone you know falls into one of those groups and would be interested in bringing out the truck. You can fill out the event form here and we'll start talking! Governor's Academy in Byfield, MA Also, here are some ideas that we've had over the years of places that we'd love to bring our unique form of sustainability education if you know anyone who could make it happen. Baseball game / sporting event Beach event Concerts / Music Festival Museums See you in the truck! Tiny House Festival in Pink Hill, NC
- Do You Want to Live on an Artificial Earth?
I found this when I was cleaning out the house where I grew up; a never opened, vintage accessory for model trains that my dad had in his collection. It is fascinating to me that a company decided to make a "life-like" version of earth and then wrap it in a box and sell it. We don't need to make and sell everything, just because we can. Because if we do, the real Earth won't be able to sustain us. I'm a broken record when I say this, but the more we make, the more non-renewable natural resources we take. So, with this niche example, how could have model train builders in the past or current-day builders get the same effect and have a fun, while also saving resources and money? By simply reusing.... wait for it... real earth. In most cases, the least negatively-impacting and the least expensive items are the items that are already here. And in this case, it would be the most life-like item too!
- A Reuse Box Truck Tiny House Tour of New Canaan, Connecticut
At the end of April, Derek Diedricksen and I capped off our busy Earth Month with an extended stay in New Canaan, Connecticut. We were there with The REUSE! Box Truck Tiny House and our Escape The Waste edutainment programs for 5 days with 4 events at 3 different locations: New Canaan Library, The Carriage Barn Arts Center and New Canaan Country School. Being there for numerous days, we had the time to explore the town, support a bunch of different local businesses, and get constantly reminded that reuse is everywhere you go and there are benefits of reuse for all of us. We got into New Canaan on Friday evening and got the truck settled into our home at the library for a couple of days. We were soon joined by our longtime friend Marty Skrelunas, a regular from Tiny House Summercamp and a New Canaan local who works in historic preservation. He was instrumental in connecting us with the library which blossomed into the extended stay. Being an exceptional tour guide, Marty wanted to take us to his favorite pizzeria, Joe's Pizza. He even got the OK to bring vegan cheese so I could try it out. After a behemoth of a meal, Deek and I headed back to the truck and settled in for the night. Deek, Marty, and I with our monster pizzas The next morning, I was still working off my pizza. So, I just went for coffee at Le Pain Quotidien, a French cafe. (Je parle un petit franΓ§ais.) I was pleased to see that the coffee there is served in ceramic cups and unique ones at that. They were more like small bowls without handles. After doing some minor work on my computer, I met Deek at The New Canaan Diner for more coffee in more ceramic mugs. We didn't sit at the diner too long though, as we wanted to check out the one thrift shop in the town, obviously named, The New Canaan Thrift Shop. It was an old house converted into a shop and I was there a bit longer than Deek, making sure I explored all the rooms. After finding some choice items at a good price for future 1 of a Kind STAY VOCAL shirts, I headed back to the library to meet Deek and our library liaison, Micaela Porter. The library was a great place for tours of the truck, as we were parked right near an entrance. Plus, our new friend Micaela encouraged every person that came to the library to check out the truck. We had a lot of people pass through and had some great conversations. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't with us so we had to have our display inside. That was OK though, since were inside for a couple of hours for the movie. After the movie, our tour guide Marty took us to Norwalk, CT, where we went to dinner at Valencia Cocina, a Venezuelan restaurant. This couple was in the tiny house for a while and had a lot of questions and interest. Plenty of room to spread out our reuse gallery inside the library Micaela Porter found some 1 of a Kind ways to reuse On Sunday, after grabbing some bagels and coffee, Deek and I headed to the Carriage Barn Arts Center, where we hosted a reuse art workshop with kids. One of our projects was creating "Scrappy Cats and Dogs" with scrap pieces of wood. It was awesome to see kids go off script and create a scrappy platypus, unicorns, etc. One of the kids brought a diorama of a bedroom that she made with discarded materials. So cool! Going a little off script with a "Scrappy Unicorn!" Kids also made Martian Plants with pieces of discarded election signs, random items from recycling bins and a little cement. Earlier that day, we had learned that the Carriage Barn Arts Center was the former barn for horses at a massive estate built in the 1800s. It had been on its way to disrepair, but was completely revitalized. The 400+ acre area is now known as Waveny Park. And the most random fun fact of the trip is that we learned that this was where actor Christopher Lloyd grew up! (Yes, Doc Brown from Back to the Future. His family later donated the estate to the town and now it's a public space with trails, gardens, summertime concerts, etc. After exploring the park and getting thousands of steps in, our contact at the New Canaan Country School, Katherine Kaneko, came to meet us. We were going to be at the school for two days, so she wanted to show us the school, see where we'd be parking, etc. This school was unlike any other school that I've seen before, but I could have guessed it would be by reading their mission. They "create an active, joyful learning environment where children are challenged to think deeply, question confidently, and act generously so that they may lead lives of impact and purpose." This is the kind of environment that I subconsciously longed for growing up, but certainly did not always get in the schools that I went to. Being a private, tuition-based school, there were many aspects that wouldn't be possible at most schools. But my favorite aspects by far certainly would be. This was their creative reuse area, featuring a bathtub to hold a bunch of supplies. What a great idea for any school to provide art and creativity materials to their students, while saving a lot of money and educating kids on reuse and easy way to help the planet. It's also a great way to work with local businesses to get donated materials that would otherwise be discarded. The reuse art supplies area at New Canaan Country School After getting the truck settled at the school, we went back to downtown New Canaan and ate dinner. And yes, our friend Marty joined us there too. With it being a small town, I wanted him to meet Katherine and her partner. I love connecting people who support the reuse movement and positive community change in general. On Monday morning, Deek and I woke up early, as we had to move the truck to its location where it would be for the two days of tours. At about 9AM, the classes started coming and they kept coming for the next 5 hours straight. Fortunately, our new friend Katherine did a great job segmenting out the classes and we had a few minutes in between each. And thankfully, we were parked right near the school cafeteria for coffee and food throughout the day. Outside the truck, Deek shows students some of his unique reuse ideas for everyday items. Inside the truck, students explore reuse solutions. After the long school day, we went to a grocery store for some truck snacks and then to Zumbach's, a coffee shop that has clearly been a staple in the town for a while. Their ceiling was covered with vintage college pennants. And for our last meal in town, we went to Gates restaurant with Katherine, Kate Casner (the school's pottery teacher), Victor (Micaela from the library's husband), and of course, Marty. Vintage college pennants completely covered the ceiling at Zumbach's Gourmet Coffee. Deek and I both went to Northeasten, fyi. After dinner, we walked through downtown again and stopped at Van Leeuwen Ice Cream that people had been raving about. Not only did I find a bunch of vegan options, but they even had a Planet Earth flavor. The "Earth" part was matcha. Pretty cool. I opted for a cone of course. Why get ice cream in a cup when you can eat the vessel?! It's such an easy and tasty solution to a waste problem. That night, we were stopped on the sidewalk by a woman whose son had been at our art workshop the day before. She told us that her son had a lot of fun and a great time making the projects. Sometimes, we're not sure how kids enjoy the projects and if it makes an impact, so this was a nice unexpected and rewarding moment. Introducing a class to our reuse world outside the box truck. Without having to set up the truck, Tuesday was much more relaxed and the tours continued throughout the entire day. And for the second day, we were serenaded by the music teacher getting the kids outdoors dancing to her singing about "Betty Martin." Being at this school for two days, I was reminded again how much work it is to be an educator and how valued they need to be in our society. Deek and I only have a small fraction of the experience that full time teachers do, but we can appreciate what they do. My mom was a teacher. Deek's parents were teachers. Many of our friends are educators. Teachers are literally the ones who are molding us from a very early age and they need to be valued as such. Deek, Katherine Kaneko, and I With the hundreds of kids (and adults) who listened to our talk about waste solutions and explored the reuse ideas in the truck, I was also constantly reminded of why I do the work that I do. We can't just think about ourselves and we can't just think about right now. These are the humans that we're sharing the planet with and these are the humans that we're leaving the planet to and we owe it to these humans to do our best to protect the planet. This was the first time that we gave tours to kids younger than 5 and they definitely enjoyed and understood a lot. After the second nonstop day and wanting to avoid traffic heading back home, we took our time packing up, chatting with students, staff and some of the parents too. We even had numerous kids want to trade their Pokemon business cards that I handed out for a better character on the back. Ha. On the way out of town, we stopped at the library to see Marty one last time and return his reusable coffee thermoses that had brought us coffee in previously. (Marty gets it.) I also had to pick up my pizza leftovers; some of the tastiest form of reuse. Speaking of coffee, the library had a coffee shop, which is just a perfect match. I'd love to see that at more libraries. So, I grabbed me reusable cup and fueled up one last time with a lot to reflect on and think about. Deek and I definitely had a great experience in New Canaan. Not only was the community interested and impacted by our reuse programs, but there were many reuse experiences in the community. This is why I always tell people that reuse is everywhere and it's for everyone. This trip was also a perfect example of why it has been so great to live minimally in the tiny house and in general. I've saved so much money on rent and mortgage that I can afford to eat out more and explore the communities that I visit. And as I've said since I first moved into the truck, "You don't live in 98-square feet to spend 24 hours in 98-square feet. Life is outside." Big thanks to everyone mentioned above and the many more who made our trip to New Canaan quite memorable. It felt so good to build a mini community while in town and we hope to be back to see them in the near future! P.S. Here are some stats for me in those 5 days: 0 single use cups used 0 pieces of single use silverware used 0 new single use bags acquired 0 new clothing items bought LOTS of local businesses supported LOTS of great conversations about reuse LOTS of kids having fun while learning LOTS of great experiences LOTS of good food eaten LOTS of coffee drank Thanks to the New Canaan Public Library and New Canaan Country School for many of the above photos.
- Can you imagine replacing cars as quickly as phones?
Recently, I was on my way to Connecticut and my car stalled out a couple of times. I've had my car for 19 years (yep, I got it in 2007) and with this situation, I thought it was the end. But fortunately, the issues weren't as major or expensive as I thought. My Pontiac Vibe is back on the road and now inching towards the 240,000 mile mark. Thank you Joseph's Garage! While dealing with this situation and the relief of getting my car back, I got thinking about other everyday items. Why isn't repair the automatic thought when something goes wrong? When our car battery dies, we don't get a new car. We get a new battery. When our car windshield cracks, we don't get a new car. We get a new windshield. When somebody drives into a garbage barrel and it flies into your door handle and breaks it, we don't get a new car. We get a replacement door handle. (True story from this year.) So, why don't we treat cell phones like this? Why don't we treat computers like this? Why don't we treat televisions like this? Is it because they're far less expensive to replace? No. Having to spend $500 or $1000 or $2000 for a new item is expensive for most of us. It's more because for the past 10 or 20 years, many companies have made it clear that they don't want you to repair their items by actually making it difficult to repair it. But if we truly own an item, then shouldn't we be able to repair it and not feel forced to buy a new one?! Well, many of us do get our items repaired. And more of us certainly can. We can stand up to this nonsense by not only repairing items, but also by buying pre-owned and refurbished items. It may take a little more time than just rushing to the store and buying a new item, but it will surely save us a lot money and it will be one small way we can make a positive impact on our planet and future generations. Learn more about our Right to Repair Here Repair is one of the most important facets of reuse and finding solutions for our waste. We can't keep manufacturing new items, using up non renewable resources, and thinking we're doing good. If we want to keep this planet and its inhabitants alive, we need to keep our things alive too. When my car was only 4 months old, it was hit by someone going through a stop sign. After having it repaired, it's lasted over 225 more months. P.S. I'm writing this on the same laptop that I've had for 5 years that had some minor repairs. Later on, I'll look at it on the same phone that I've had for 5 years, but had a few different pre-owned cases for it.
- No More Earth "Day"
Here's a challenge for you. Try doing something today without the Earth you live and breathe on. Exactly. You can't. How our choices impact the planet is an imperative part of our conversation; each and every day. And that's for each and every one of us; no matter who we are. We can't make... We can't do... We can't eat... We can't play... We can't live a single day without Earth. So, today, tomorrow, the next day, and so on, let's work together to take care of the single most vital thing to our existence. Happy April 22nd. π€ππ€
