Well, not really STOP global warming, but feel good about doing your part. Although, as I write this, 15 inches of snow is accumulating outside my window.  I told my kids I want to increase my carbon footprint because I am sick and tired of this cold weather.  They did not think I was amusing.  Anyway, here's some interesting facts I dug up somewhere when I should have been shoveling, or cleaning or paying bills:

  • The average American buys 70 pounds of clothing and textiles a year.  ( For those of you who shop or consign on this website, you can call yourself "above average," without anyone snickering.)
  • 85% of used textiles get thrown into landfills.
  • Almost 100% of those textiles are reusable and/or recyclable.

So, while I could stand a little global warming right about now, I would not want to be responsible for cute fuzzy little polar bears losing their lives.  Would you?
