Let's Do Our Part on Earth Day!

Today would be a fine day to bundle up some articles you are not using and take them to your Goodwill Store. They resell them and so, they are recycled! It also gives someone an opportunity to get a "new" blouse or household item at an excellent price. It also helps to employ several people who otherwise might not have jobs.

Also, Family Crisis Centers (i.e. Women's Shelter of East Texas, Inc.) have shops where they resell your gently used clothing and other items. 24 Hour Crisis Hotline for this wonderful group is 1-800-828-7233.

While we are at it, let's purchase a few more "green" cloth bags to use when we are shopping. Leave a few in the car so you always have one handy! Many stores including Brookshire Brothers Groceries and CVS Pharmacy are offering them at less than the usual $1.00 charge.

By the way, you can get a really nifty "green" bag - which happens to be red - that zips up into itself so you can carry it in your purse. Where do you get that? - Target Stores!
