      I don’t agree with all 50 things on the list. Some of these items can be repurposed easily.
      As an example, I cut up old frayed towels into smaller pieces and sew the edges. I used them as cleaning rags. Same with old facecloths.
      Storage containers without lids I used to organize my bathroom drawers.
      Old sheets, jeans, t-shirts can all be used for craft projects.
      But all this said, this is not your typical list recommended for de-cluttering and so I really appreciate that.

      I think both ideas are great. I’d chuck it because I’m not crafty like that or have time. I work a 40 hour week and have a special needs child. Great ideas though

        I agree. I love to repurpose things and it is important to be green by doing so. The Earth is a delicate balance of limited natural resources & space. I believe we are way to eager to throw something out, waste more money on another of the same item, and then let the old one go sit in a landfill somewhere. That being said I do like the list and the effort put into to expand the idea of things we don’t need to hang on to and should recycle rather than simply discard. Thanks to both of you.mic
