    I am in the process of moving and this whole challenge has really been helpful.  When I am tired of going through cupboards rather than throw it away I stop and think if there is an alternative to the landfill.

    This really motivated me to clean out my closets.  3 trips to the donation center later I had very respectable looking closets. Ya

    Looking forward to being very mindful of the environment around me.  This is a great way to focus.
