Waste Un-Aware

by Terese Hartjoy @ Thorne's World

Community Recycling Network for Scotland (CRNS) and Waste Aware Scotland have launched a campaign to boost donations of furniture and common household items to assist low income and in transition from homelessness families. Statistics show a 43% drop in goods donated in the past year.

Remember folks, keep it green with Simply Green!
