The Death of a Yard Sale

Often being eco-friendly is cheap. By reducing, reusing, and recycling, people can save a lot of money. So, why don't all people follow the R's?

1.) Knowledge: if people don't know how to reduce, reuse, or recycle, they won't. Simple enough.
2.) Ease: it's just too darn easy to stop-by WalMart to get what you need.

Craigslist, however, is a great tool to help people reuse. Two out of three of the couches in my living room are Craigslist purchases. With Craigslist people can find each other's old things and make them their treasures.

Pre-CL (Craigslist) Era, people has to wake up early on summer weekends and scurry around town trying to find a worthwhile yard sale. Craigslist is like a yard sale from the comfort of your own home.

And Craigslist would surely put a smile on Mother Earth's face. Pre-CL Era people's old stuff most likely got tossed in the garbage. Now, people can sell their "junk" and keep it out of the landfills.

It's all about reusing!
