We can all make small steps to help minimise waste going to landfill or the impact on our environment for future generations. What you may be doing to help the cause may seem small and perhaps even insignificant but if 10million people do it than all of a sudden it becomes significant and very impactful, even powerful.
Kids Toys - Unwanted kids toys, rather than throw them away or even pay for them to be thrown out, consider putting them on Gumtree for "free pick up" You don't even have to be home - just say 'toys left near letterbox, first in best dress" SAVERS is also one of the better charities that seem to give life to old toys and clothing. There standards are a little lower so even if they are slightly damaged they will still make the shelf and hopefully go to a better place. TOY LIBRARIES are great for giving kids new toys on a regular basis without paying a single cent! Next time you hear the words "I want this" have a think about wether its really something you need as a family or is it just going to be another toy that gets played with for an hour or a week tops and end up thrown out in next years clean up.... Using a toy library, they can play with it for a week or two than return it and swap it for something new- if they loved it they can hire it again in a few months. You can also ask toy libraries if they would like to take some of your unplayed with toys rather than throwing them out. Toy libraries are at most community libraries. Regards PS Spelling and Grammar is not my strong point!!
