Donate All Unwanted Items That Have Value to Others

This is funny, but it makes an important point: it’s wrong to throw away things that have value to other people.

When the intensity of my business career vanished about a decade ago, I gave away four suits, and at least 50 ties.  I’d like to believe that somewhere there’s a guy who has a look that says “Craig Shields, 2008.”

Good people support the thrift store economy–on the grounds of both humanitarianism and environmentalism.  Every item enjoying a new life means that a new item doesn’t come into being, with all the resources associated with it.
