Arranging your life ecologically, ethically and simple

Step 2 Recycling

First, we'll start with the easy bit we can do for the environment and for ourselves (to start making life less complex). In this step we'll search around the house looking for stuff/materials we don't or no longer need so that they may be recycled. When gathered, we'll either drive them to the civic amenity site , or we'll find another good use for them (eg giving away certain items to people who can put them to good use, ...). If payment is required to dispose of certain items, we'll gladly abide as:
- it will help us to be more considerate/prudent next time and not be such an easy buyer (buying things we don't really need or which we can't make 100% use off.
- we can rest assured that the materials will be recycled properly and not just dumped somewhere

Especially the attic will be a good starting location for most to obtain materials we can sent in for recycling. We'll collect stuff as old clothing, blankets, audio and videotapes, old paper, books and magazines, .... After scavenging these, we can remove them from our house, and once again have a usable space (which can be given a new and more usable/profitable purpose; eg for the storage of seed sometimes required for our food production system, ...).
