When you tire of something give it to a friend or neighboor who will enjoy it, take care of it, and then pass it on.

Donate reusable items to Goodwill, Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, and other charitable outlets.

When purchasing items, check Goodwill, and similar outlets before purchasing new.

Hold a yard sale. If you don’t have enough stuff for your own, combine with other families.
