Ditch the Stuff

Use Less Stuff Day

I like this day!

I use very little “stuff”.

I don’t like cleaning-

so I don’t use

a lot of cleaning “stuff”.

I don’t like shopping,

so I don’t often go out

 and just buy “stuff”.

I don’t buy a lot of food “stuff”…

I think I celebrate this day

most days of the year!

 Coming up to the festive season,

people run around…

fighting for car parks

and jostling their way

through over-crowded shopping centres,

to buy “stuff”.

The stuff is then wrapped

in more stuff

and handed to different people.

 Often, the people

getting the stuff

don’t really like the stuff –

 or want the stuff –

and the stuff is thrown away.

This is the time

When our recycling bins

 are overflowing with stuff

and our rubbish bins

spill over with stuff.

This year, Use Less Stuff Day

might help us all prepare

to collect less stuff,

collect less packaging

with our stuff,

to recycle and reuse

more efficiently and to have

 less stuff to clean

from our homes in 2012.

Use Less Stuff today!
