How to be Green
In my previous post I wrote about how difficult it is to throw things away.
I seem to live my life surrounded by books and other clutter.
Despite this, I managed to give away piles of books to friends, children and charity shops this week.
Whilst clearing out the bedrooms, I found a trumpet in a case which belonged to my siblings but which no one wanted. Just by chance, that very day, a pupil mentioned to me that she plays the trumpet but has to rent one from school. I immediately brought the trumpet down and offered it to her as a gift. She was delighted with it.
I also gave her a set of hardback classic novels while some reference books and educational workbooks were gladly received by other children.
I've learnt from this that the things that lie unwanted and neglected in our houses could be valued and given a new lease of life by new owners.
