Give Away Things You Don't Use
Many of us have things we rarely, if ever,
use. Months and years go by and these things sit in our closets, attics and
garages- not used. Things like: clothes, furniture, sporting good,
kitchenware and pictures, etc.
Giving away things you don't use has a lot of advantages:
- it can simplify your life and free up space
- it reduces the number of natural resources we, as a nation, must use to sustain our life style,
- removing clutter can free your energy and allow you to focus on your life's work,
- it helps other people by allowing them to acquire things they couldn't afford otherwise, and
- you may be able to deduct a part of the value of these items on your tax return.
