One of the things this exercise has revealed though is the appalling level of waste in the World – I can’t believe that we are the only people to have collected this much stuff. It wouldn’t be so bad but it loses value so quickly that I can’t give it away.

I am trying freecycle at the moment. Freecycle is an online means of linking people who have items they don’t want with people who are looking for items…

Most of the UK appears to be covered so click on one of the links above and try wasting less.
