Green Home Themes, Economical life

If you can’t reuse something, no one you know wants it, and you can’t recycle it, you may still have alternatives to throwing it out. You can give things away or sell them if you have access to potential customers. Someone out there will want it.
The only limiting factors are how much someone is willing to pay and whether it’s economically viable and green to have the item posted or delivered to that person’s home.
If something has to be transported by road or air for long distances, you have to consider the carbon emissions.
Sit down and start working out what’s lying around your home that other people could use. Some of the most popular second-hand items include:
Books, magazines, and CDs: There’s a huge market for these and they can go on and on being reused. Sort out a storage system, if you have room, that allows you to add an item to the correct box each time you finish with something. When a box is full offer it to your local secondhand book or music shop and if you don’t get a sale, offer it to the charity shop.
Clothes: Used and vintage clothes are fashionable. Most street markets have several stalls of these clothes and they’re popular over the Internet. Go through your wardrobe and drawers and sort out things to give away, swap, sell, or to go for rags. You may be able to reuse some for washing floors.
Computers and printers: A computer or printer that’s no longer up to date enough for your needs is sure to be of use to someone else. If you have one to get rid of see the previous section, ‘Scheming to get rid of computers’.
Furniture: All sorts of home clearance firms buy furniture; auctions sell antiques and less valuable furniture and household items; and charities often want furniture of all sorts to help poorer families furnish homes.
Household Items: Car boot sales, garage sales, jumble sales, indoor markets, church fetes, street stalls, and auctions are places for private individuals to sell unwanted items and they’re never short of interested potential customers. If there are no events going on where you can set up a stall, have your own sale. The rules are simply that you must only sell what belongs to you and that the items must be as you describe them.
