The Earth is on Life support: Recycling, reusing, and reducing is a solution to digging or making more

Maybe we always thought that there's always another _______________, (toaster, car, house, land to grow on, plate, appliance, book, library, park etc.) This is not only not True but unhealthy and wasteful thinking. There's not always going to be another anything. This mindset is in need of change and the Inspiration that can be drawn from creating from _________________(old car, old appliances, old houses that may be past fixing up, old clothes Even stained or with holes, old computer, VCRs{in demand now}, old games, furniture whether in need of repair or could be used for other things even pairing it with other broken or used furniture, old toys, lots of stuff you don't use anymore or never did etc.) used or new anything. 

Clothing can be cut up for rags or making rugs or a 150 or more other uses no matter if it is stained or holey it can be reused. Appliances can be parted out of fixed, even really old ones. Building to last is part of this process though as well because our society started making things even cell phones and batteries to time out, meaning purposeful sabotage of items in order for people to buy more. Buying more has to stop because there's not always going to be another ________________ and we have raped and polluted the Earth almost past the point of no return. Our Natural, fully natural areas are fewer than ever. Our water is polluted so much that animals have died or are dying from it, same with the earth or soil and our air. Earth, water Air everything goes everywhere is one of my sayings to try to get people to understand that everything we do lasts, it all will eventually go everywhere it can just take 56 years for it to happen, for everything less than a 100 years and it will appear on the other side of the world. At this moment we have between 8-11 years before we can't produce enough food for everybody and then what will happen? Using more fertilizer which kills soil in the long run and pollutes our bodies (contributes to obesity, disease, suppressed immune system, anxiety, depression, lack of sleep, and other ailments etc.) has to be addressed so that we can get back to natural ways of growing things that aren't polluting us and the environment.

One of my ideas back in 2021 is a possible area in each county or on the edge of where you have something like 1-800-got-junk which picks up anything and everything with the exception of paperwork (have a referral service for proper secure disposal/recycling of this on hand that is verified and insured) or identity, signing a waiver or having someone present to wipe electronics is a great idea too so when you get them to your location they have no identifying information (doing both is probably a good idea Tech recovery specialists might be able to attest to this) and a list for anything toxic or possibly a certain type of recycling depending upon what your business takes or has a byline against. There are about less than 50 types of appliances and certain ones at least 3 have to be taken by certain people, certain transportation, and recycled and or fixed by certain specifications and trained personell or disposed of properly. You can work in cooperation with people who can do this to pick up at the same time or have a special transport team just for these items that works off of independent contractor status even run by the State you live in. In Montana they could have 2 teams Party time who do contractor and on call work, there's at least 8-9 people in the state currently trained and certified for this type of transport and disposal, maybe about 24 who can actually fix things properly as well meaning less for the landfill.

What I am suggesting is having a thrift store which has most of what comes in or you could split it up more depending, a fix it shop, an appliance store, and a technology/electronics store that does fixing and recycling as well as maybe answering some questions and making new out of old( like 3 computers parts into one). ♻️ Everything you can and don't forget compost as well. Look up composting rules , no meat or eggs but wildlife can eat that. Composting reduced our landfill waste as well as rejuvenation of soil so our food like tomatoes have Taste in them again. My mom has an aerated pot beneath the sink( a collandar in a pot with a top that has holes can work) where she puts natural things like carrot peels, banana skin, excess whatever that can go out into her garden compost heap, a big bin with soil in it to stir in organic food stuff even egg shells to put back into the earth. We take so much with what we grow and then don't really put back in that the soil has become depleted of some of its natural goodness, even food for worms.

Non profit is the way of now and the future if we can SEE past profit we might be able to save ourselves, the children and our planet. 10 years minimum with the World non profit and we might succeed at turning this around to have self sustaining continents( less fuel waste, less excess transport, just less) which can lead to a reversal of depending upon other places, redressing the balance in the environment, exclusivity of ______________(actual import export business that we used to have Pier One Imports), Fair Trade and Fair Play, Education for All including bartering education as money is of less use to some especially communities that need________________( a water system, sustainable energy that's green, transportation, medical, dental, schools, soil rejuvenation, water and soil testing, chemical disposal etc.) , WholehealthCare For All is something that I need companies and governments to talk about and exact due to pollution going back 131 years. Taking care of everyone is in everyone's best interest around the world. Get it together people so people stop dying, suffering, and so our Earth can heal since we don't live upon a Self cleaning Oven type of planet right!
