Just to share my thoughts here. The small contribution by a single person for few days a week may not make any difference, but just imagine IF everyone is doing the same thing! It's not about saving money but the overall effect for our environment.

I guess that is another benefit of riding bikes - they don't leave mess on the street. I actually work from home, but even still this article has provided me some inspiration to get out and start riding again. It's been a while... lol at the image of the horse poo on the road.

New, mass-produced furnishings are more than a significant contribution to landfills. Most new furnishings are built to be disposable - and replaced. Trees are destroyed, energy used, pollution created...not to mention all of the off-gassing of new objects made with harsh chemicals and finishes. NONE of this is an issue with antiques. Would love to hear you blog about it! I love your site, but I think you have overlooked a huge opportunity for “greening up” in a practical and affordable way: antiques!
