Thanks for your trash

I must give thanks to the many people who are wasteful.
I have been re-doing a couple of customers kitchens and it amazes me every time how much people just want to throw away everything. Everyone wants the new best thing. I guess in order to fix weak economies governments would be happy of these capitalist beliefs.
Microwaves, cupboards, drawers, stoves....the list can just go on.
If it doesn't match take it out. So as far as they know everything is being junked, but I have been taking things to charitable centres. Maybe your white oven is not as nice as the new stainless steel one,however it is much better than no oven at all. Many are still actually grateful to just be able to cook a warm meal.
Unfortunately much of construction waste just piles up at the dump.
I am the wood collector on job sites. If there is any usable wood on anything I keep it. There is no need for it to go to a landfill if it can be used in another application. I will even just use it as kindling if that is all I can do with it. My favorite is drawers. They make perfect plant containers. Drill a few holes, fill with growing medium and Voila...

So much love to all you who chose to live in a slightly greener world.
