One of the best places to find good used stuff is on Craigslist. I once had an old bicycle that I thought about taking to the landfill. Instead, I placed an ad on Craigslist and offered it for free to anybody who would come get it. A young man came and got it and took it home and refurbished it. It is a beautiful and much used bicycle now. It is not in the landfill. That is going green.

When you purchase something, it can have a negative impact on the environment without you even knowing it. Be more aware and you can help save the environment one person and one item at a time.
