I suggest that the best thing you can get for yourself on #Amazon #PrimeDay is freedom from excess consumption, avoidance of unnecessary debt (and future interest expense), and liberation from Amazon.

Feel the need to "buy something?" Buy pre-owned from a thrift store, secondhand bookstore, yard sale, or (if you must) eBay. At least you'll help extend the life of a product already manufactured.

This is still a big issue round here. They have reopened the roads but the fire still burns and we are supposed to ‘limit our time outdoors’ which is a fairly ridiculous instruction given that we need to water and feed poultry etc… pollution levels are under the danger average but some spikes have greatly exceeded safe limits.

We’re getting something right in #resourcerecovery
Today I loaded up a carload of unwanted household items, car batteries, #ewaste and old paint tins. In half an hour I had offloaded almost all of it at #Vinnies and the local #recycling centre, relishing the space released at home and the knowledge that most of it will be used again. No fee. No mining. No #landfill 😊
