I started picking trash to get stuff I needed, but could not afford to buy. But once I had all I needed I started selling, to raise my small income. But not buying it is also a statement tot not feed the crazy commerce that's using up the Earth's resources. Occasonaly I stll keep an object, but I'm mostly happy with all I have and live a simple life. New clothes and gadgets do not make it better!
Why do so many people still believe that? I don't know. But this blog now focusses on the no more wanted superfluous stuff that I've found new destinations for after all.
And I hope it will help you to think about that.
