Day 141: Newspapers

Recycle, reuse, etc...they are wonderful phrases and goals. I prefer recycle because it gets the junk out of my house. I had an uncle who, in his later years, had stacks of newspapers almost to the ceiling against an entire wall in his basement. As a college student, I was amazed. How can that many accumulate, and why did he let them accumulate?

Unless we are saving certain items for an upcoming project or often work with children who make crafts, let the stuff go! It certainly doesn't take long to collect toilet paper or paper towl tubes, milk cartons, etc. if you spread the word around to your friends to help you save toward a project. Let them go for now and clear out space!

I'm recycling my weekly accumulation of newspapers.
