Zero Waste Activism: Decluttering 101

Donate, Reuse, Recycle, Repeat!

Decluttering 101 is a crash course in reducing, reusing, and recycling. It's time to get rid of those old socks, broken appliances, and dusty vases. But don't worry, we're not just throwing things away, we're donating them forward!

Donation Tips

Donating is like a digital download, but with more cardboard boxes.
- Check the condition of the item before donating.
- Ask for a receipt, it's like asking for a hug.
- Don't be that person who just drops off a bunch of trash.
- Call ahead to confirm the thrift store accepts your donation.
- Be prepared for the possibility that they might say no.
- Be prepared for the possibility that they might say yes.
- Be prepared for the possibility that they might give you a cup of coffee.

That's it for today's lesson. Next up: Repair It Yourself, where we'll learn to fix that broken toaster you've been meaning to fix for years.
