Making new things is what recycling is all about thank you for sharing i do like your three r’s method, its a great way to look at the things you don’t want again and not sure what to do with it.

I tried to drop you an email, but your email address didn't work. Here's to hoping you read this and follow up! Kate: Interesting timing, Sam Weinberg seems to have done it over the course of 2007 as well. I think you're right, I'd struggle with such a hard-line approach, I prefer to try and moderate for a lifetime, while encouraging those around me to do the same.

I like your post, I have heard many people suggest reusing Christmas Cards, and think it's a great idea. Hopefully all your friends read this, just incase any get their last years Christmas Card recycled back to them this year, they'll know why. I also recently started a crafters web site and my own blog, both a work in progress. I hope I'm not headed down the road to one of those utterly horrible and unuseable craft sites, but welcome any feed back if I am. Are you a marketing consultant? Hi,

Pas facile... On garde souvent des choses "au cas où on en aurait besoin un jour", ou des souvenirs qui ont une valeur sentimentale mais qui dorment dans des boîtes depuis 10-20 ans - comme vos dessins de maternelle et jardin, vos textes du concours d'art oratoire, vos cartes d'anniversaire. C'est étonnant comme on peut vivre avec peu quand on n'a pas le choix. Mais c'est justement les choix qui sont difficiles à faire... Défi: réduire de 50%, non 25%, ce qu'on apportera à Wendover.
