Description of Earth Day activity:
Have a garage/yard sale! There are some Yard Sale Tips listed in What Works, if you check the Topics listings...
Clean those closets, turn trash into treasure.
Other suggestions or comments:
Re-Use is the highest form of recycling there is!
If the weather's not quite right for a sale by Earth Day, you could just launch preparations for a sale later. Do your Spring Cleaning; price, bag and box the items until the day you are ready to set up shop. Celebrate your cleaner home environment with a picnic/pizza party/cookout, or popcorn and video night.
