Inorganics

Carmen from Point Chevalier

Hey neighbours, remember there are many places and people around who would be grateful to receive items that are in good reusable condition rather than just putting them into the inorganic pile. We've got 3 op shops in Pt Chevalier alone - The Homestead (cnr of Alberton and Point Chev Road) and the Hospice shop and St Vincents in the mall. Red Cross, The City Mission, SPCA, Salvation Army and St Johns all have op shops too. You could advertise on Neighbourly or Freecycle to give away. Putting items in good condition (not rubbish) out on the berm with a 'free' sign can work well too. Let's help each other out and give goods as long a life as we can. Think of all the resources that went into creating them and keep them out of landfill for as long as possible.

Grandpa went for a walk, and it started raining.

When he got home, his clothes were soaking wet, but not a hair on his head was wet.
How was this possible?
