Pledge to Re-Distribute Waste
I Pledge as Follows:
I will work to prevent the continuous production of waste and exhaust of resources by:
1) Giving away and selling unused possessions rather than disposing.
2) Donating unneeded items, such as foods, toys, clothing, household goods, to charities.
3) Donate used, especially electronics to a re-distribution organization for use by public schools, low-income communities, and developing nations: eyeglasses, computers, tennis shoes, cell phones, jewelry, giftware etc.
Through doing so, I will be supporting a more sustainable planet and helping major charitable missions.
