Get Organized Pittsburgh

I am not talking about washing out baggies here! I am just asking you to think about not just putting things out on the curb with out a thought about how things could be used by someone who needs them. Part of the responsibility of purchasing something is to think long term about where and how it is going to end up. Donation is a huge piece of the puzzle here. Just because you have exhausted the possibilities of a perfectly good sweater that may be out of style, there is someone who may simply be cold that can really benefit from that item. I would love to see connecting with resources to get rid of items responsibly in the end become part of the American shopping mindset! When i buy this new blanket, am i prepared to take the old one to the animal shelter. When i buy this new purse, which one could i give to Dress for Success? When i buy this new laptop i will put an appointment to go to the Goodwill Store Computer Center in my calendar right away.

When faced with this little additional responsibility we will often rethink our actual “need” and be aware of our footprint on this earth!
