The Good Stuff Rescue League
1 I /
1 hereby /
2 elect myself /
3 president of The /
5 Good Stuff Rescue League. Our /
8 motto: Save the landfills.
Dumpsters worldwide cry out /
13 for your support: "Enough with the lamps, patio furniture, cedar chests, car batteries, /
21 text books, fake Christmas trees, heirlooms from your grandmother, wastepaper baskets, lawn mowers, digital whatevers, wicker baskets, wall hangings, et cetera."
1 Take /
1 your /
2 good stuff /
3 anywhere but Goodwill /
5 Industries, where, up the street, /
8 good stuff meets trash compactor after several weeks /
13 on the shelf.(I could do that myself and save on gas money.)
1 We're
1 having
2 our first
3 membership drive today.
5 Sign up, and you'll get
8 a certificate on copy paper suitable for framing.
13 Oh, picture frames! Dumpsters don't want those, either, nor dog beds nor bicycles.

I think perhaps we should buy less stuff to begin with! I will remember that about Goodwill!
I totally agree, Norma. I read on a refurbishing blog a post about updating a 1970s chest of drawers, and the writer wondered why anybody would still have one of those in the house. The culture is still increasing in throwing away.
