[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 5437501, member: 7006"] Believe me, I understand your ways of thinking and I'm right there with you much of the time. A large changeover of my clothes usually means I bag up my old stuff and then drop them off at the Goodwill bins down the street... now that there's a used book store a mile or so away I'll dump off my old paperbacks when I clear my shelves... and I set out my recycling bins each Wednesday night like a good doobie. But I also know that I'm not so angelic a person that I also won't go [I]way[/I] out of my way to see that everything I own that I don't use anymore is going to "go to a new home". Like most of us... there are just certain inconveniences that I just won't go much further on. Because at some point... there will be [I]always[/I] be something that you [I]could[/I] be thriftful on, but you end up not being. How many people waste food? All the time. Go to a restaurant and not bother bringing home a doggie bag... or leave leftovers in the fridge, not eat them, and then throw them out when they go bad. How much trash do we throw out that we [I]could[/I] have put in the recycle bin if we took a couple extra seconds to remove the plastic from the cardboard for instance? Do you take old socks and wash them, cut them up, and use them as rags when you're cleaning the house? There are thousands of things (which the Green movement has highlighted on quite extensively) we could do that wouldn't be wasteful. The question is... how far are we willing to go? Everyone will have that one thing that they just couldn't imagine just "tossing out". I realize it, which is why I do not take any offense to anything any of you have said. Because in many ways you are absolutely right... I [I]could[/I] have done more if I hadn't wanted to be inconvenienced at the time. And that's just something I'll have to accept. [/QUOTE]
