Actions Speak Louder - 11 Recent Free Recycled Curb Finds Saved & Recently Sold For $868

Thank you. Sometimes it feels discouraging that I'm one of only a handful around my area that cares enough to do it. I have to think bigger to try to get more people loyally involved in making a bigger impact on a consistent basis. I have to find people who don't default to the "what's in it for me" mindset. I can only do so much and my dent isn't going to make a big difference unless others start making their own dent as a ripple effect.

Trade ya a drum video for a guitar video... Heck, 2 for 1.

The best satisfaction and sense of pride I feel is when I save something and get it in the hands of someone else who needs it, who won't be buying a new one to perpetuate the commercial retail cycle. It all adds up. The more people who contribute, the better off the planet becomes one small fraction at a time. Feel free to message if you ever have any questions. It just starts with one find, a successful sale or repurpose, and then it evolves into autopilot.

Thanks man. If I keep Steeming on, it's alllll yourrrrr fault!!

Thanks as always. It's a slow road to Steem recovery, but this will be my path if any.

Large metro areas with a high population seem to have little option other than to have the refuse placed on the curbs for fleets of trucks to pick up. That's the situation by me, and presumably in other major metro areas. For more urban settings, I suggest driving around on recycling nights in the more densely populated neighborhoods or developments if they put bins at their driveways. While there's no need to open their bins, there could be some odds and ends that won't fit or are put on the side for the taking.

If you see my last post, yard sales may be a loophole for taking stuff off of people's hands if they may throw them out after. While you're there you could also ask if they have anything extra around they may be tossing out that you could recycle for them.

When I was at the yard sale event in that post, many houses put their unsold stuff out on the curb after the day was done. Others who didn't have a sale, left stray things on their driveways with "free" signs to take... I got a chainsaw and weed whacker for FREE from the driveway of someone purging with no sale.

Do you mean a Steem tag? I don't use other social media outside of Facebook Marketplace to sell things. I appreciate the offer, but your interest and engagement is all I'd ever ask for. Thanks.

To value things, go on eBay under the recently sold listings and see how much and how often what you have is selling. Try to base your pricing off of those figures. You can also compound your chances by listing them on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. What types of things do you generally try to sell? Are they shippable/portable?

Thank you. I won't give up on my effort to try to make an impact in my day-to-day. Steem is another story, but for now I'll try to stay involved in the spirit of keeping my message about helping the planet alive in blockchain land.

Thank you. Yes, it'd be such a better experience if people could search for tagged or specific content to find the niches they truly enjoy. The best way I find my own older content is by Googling my account name and recycling or thrifting. That's fairly insane to me. Steemit should be able to support more robust searching outside of having to scroll down months of someone's blog posts, which ultimately get cut off at a certain point. Just like with your videos, so much thought and good content is buried -- that's not right. That's what could attract lots of new users -- if they can find the content they want, instead of what they're forced to see by some ranking algorithms.

I'm glad you keep such a positive attitude about it. I need to learn from you. Is the hair dye your secret?? After 2+ years of banging my head against the wall, I got jaded.
