REFLECTION QUESTIONFamily + Pets Thrifty PetsHow does buying used differ from buying new? How does each purchasing decision make you feel?

REFLECTION QUESTIONBedroom Declutter SustainablyCompared to your previous experiences with decluttering, how was this experience with sustainable decluttering different?
Kirk Eck 7/29/2024 5:22 AMI always try to use items as long as I can, then pass them on to someone else, the school down the street gets things that they need from all of our community. Recently they got an easel and other items from us -

laura cecile wulf-eck 7/29/2024 5:19 AMThis was a really hard one for me, I am using dryer balls and the sticky things in the wash to remove pet hair. So far so good. Not sure yet that I can switch completely (I wear a lot of black and have a dalmation that sheds) but sheets, towels, all non black items are dryer balls for sure! -

laura cecile wulf-eck 7/29/2024 5:14 AMI have a long extension on my shop vac and I go through the outside and the inside vents. It is not hard at all, the worst part is dragging the vacuum around, but I do think my clothes dry faster and I always worry about fire hazards so this puts my mind at ease on that . WIN WIN -
