Sometimes I feel very guilty about how much of wastage that happens on a regular basis in my home. Whether it is discarding old clothes, shoes, kitchenware, household items or anything. I am consciously trying to recycle as much as possible whatever I can. For clothes and footwear, I donate it in old age homes and orphanages, only the ones which are in good condition. Some which are in very poor condition, I use them for cleaning purpose or as covers for certain items by cutting and reshaping them.
This time I wanted to buy a Christmas tree for my new villa, the initial plan was to buy a new one but then I realized that I have a tree in my Muscat home which I will not be using any more there. I was going to remove it and then I thought I should bring it to Mumbai and use it for my new home. It's a big tree, not very convenient to bring it in flight. I disassembled it and put it in the suitcase, along with all the ornamentals. It was a hassle carrying 2 suitcases and I had to compromise on carrying my own luggage as I had to fit everything in the weight I could carry. I was 2 kgs extra though, the lady at the check-in counter was kind enough to let it pass.
Now that I have got it home, I feel so happy and good about it. Firstly, I saved money and then that I could use up my old tree only and not let it go waste. Likewise in the past few months I have carried a lot of things from Muscat to Mumbai for my new home, trying to not buy things what I already have as much as possible. For few months I will have to compromise on usage of certain things but then its ok.
I want to reuse all my old things as much as possible till it can absolutely not be used. And then I need to figure out how to dispose it off in the best possible manner. In Muscat we have a good system, there are big boxes placed at many public places where one can dispose of their old clothes and things. Recycling I have not yet been full fledge into it but reusing I am trying to make my best efforts for whatever I can.
When I go for shopping, I make it a point to carry my own handbag and not take bags from the shop. All these shopping plastic and paper bags are a big-time waste and a major contributor to pollution.
These little mindful actions if taken by each one of will make a huge difference.
Thank you for visiting my blog. 👼🏻👼🏻💖💖🌹🌺🌸

Thanx
I also love to reuse old stuff, I fell it's wastage if I just dumped them
Mindfulness helps in creating less wastage
Yes we should use old things until they are usable and look quite good, while I'm happy that the lady at the check-in counter allows you to pass you easily and you got your Christmas tree at home 😀
I believe that when you want to do good and you have the right intentions, the Universe will always come to your help
Yes I believe in it too
