One ~Mands Clutter...

An easy way to start to save the planet is reducing the 'stuff' being produced.  Yes - you need clothes, but can you op-shop, swap with friends rather than seek to buy it new? Hopefully this mammoth clearing of 'things' will result in treats and treasures for others.  I've decided that we are professional hoarders and as the plan is to move with minimal excess items ~ inspired the thoughts below.  Another of Richard's pics above.

I thought starting with Ballarat Buy Swap & Sell on Facebook as the first place to go.  I've not warmed to ebay so I cant see a 'shop' being set up by me any time soon.  Part of me says, box it up and give it to the Salvos - but I'd like the satisfaction of contributing to the household cash flow.  And, please correct me if I am wrong, selling items previously purchased, used or gifted don't play up on tax or family payments.  So double the score ~ space and savings...

♒ Hear the Warning ♒

Listen to the wind as is whistles through the trees

Carrying along messages, skipping under leaves

We need to start a might row,

Our planet needs repairing now

What will be tomorrow, if we don't care about today

If yesterday cannot be changed, do you think no way

What can I, one person do

Get together with one other like you

Make a change

Take just a little step

We've much to gain

For future benefit

It will be in our favour

Taking little effort

Work with your neighbour

Hear the warning

Can you foresee a future, one with many generations

One with hope and life through uniting of the nations

What we must do today

Join together, pave the way

To make a change

Take just a little step

We've much to gain

For future benefit

It will be in our favour

Taking little effort

Work with your neighbour

Here is your warning
