#BathME - #HabitatReStores: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

"Habitat for Humanity/7 Rivers Maine is a locally governed non-profit organization addressing the housing needs of low income families. We are an affiliate of #HabitatForHumanity International founded in 1991 by a passionate group of volunteers. Our service area includes Lincoln and Sagadahoc Counties and the towns of Brunswick and #HarpswellME.

Proceeds from the ReStore support our affordable housing programs. In addition to selling affordable home improvement products to the public, the resale of unwanted building materials, appliances, furniture, and other items prevents tons of waste ending up in landfills each year.

Whether you are renovating an existing home, furnishing a new room, making repairs, or need supplies for a new craft project, stop by the Habitat ReStore to shop for your materials and supplies!"

#ToySwaps and the #CircularToyEconomy: How to Raise Waste-Free Kids

Ash Gregg, July 24, 2025

"Kids outgrow toys fast — sometimes faster than we can recycle the packaging. What starts as a sweet moment of play often ends up as clutter, then waste.

Behind those bright colors and fun shapes lies a hidden environmental truth: the toy industry is one of the most wasteful in the world. Most toys are made of plastic. Few are designed to last. And almost none are built with end-of-life reuse in mind.

But there’s a better way — and it doesn’t mean denying kids joy or imagination. In fact, it can inspire more of both.

Welcome to the circular toy economy: a movement built on #sharing, #reusing, #fixing, and reimagining play. It’s not just good for the planet — it’s good for your home, your budget, and your children’s values."

Danke, ich hab schon alles was ich brauche, aber könnten wir bitte alle damit aufhören den Planeten zu zerstören?
Weniger ist oft mehr, das gilt auch für #Konsum. Was nicht produziert wurde, verbraucht keine #Rohstoffe, keine #Energie, muss nicht transportiert & entsorgt werden. (1/2)
