Stuff

had an inspiring and busy weekend, enjoying the unseasonable weather in Kansas City by getting in some quality think time on mountain bike trail, in the dog park (my dog officially likes people more than his canine peers) and coffee shop porch. thought a lot about consumption and recycling and how Interwoven Threads is contributing - although positively as possible - to a consumption-based lifestyle. even more about Interwoven Threads can further its environmentally-conscious message. a buying moratorium is not in order, but being smarter and more discriminating about what you use, as it relates to what you waste, is good for everyone.

i get especially thoughtful about my own waste on Mondays, as it's trash day. so to mark trash day, here are a couple thought-provoking pieces all about stuff.

Katherine Hubbard's Private Life of Trash from Good Magazine.
