Monthly Quote

“Let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius.”

Pietro Aretino, Italian writer, (1492 – 1556)
Tip Of The Month
Looking to get rid of that old sofa or some old socks? Most of us might simply toss those socks in the garbage can or take the sofa to the dump. There is a better way, however, and it doesn’t involve adding to our already bursting landfills. Deron Beal of Tucson, Arizona, runs a non-profit that works to match free-to-good-home unwanted items to new owners, thereby decreasing the junk people put in landfills. www.Freecycle.org is a site where people list items they want to get rid of, local chapters filter listings on the site and members e-mail each other to set up pick-ups. If you’re thinking, “No one would want this!” you may be wrong: Freecycle.org has given away everything from hole-filled socks to a pile of dirt!
