The Kindness of Repair and Reuse

"Every minute of every hour of every day you are making the world, just as you are making yourself, and you might as well do it with generosity and kindness and style."
~ Rebecca Solnit

The other day, I spoke to another mom who shared that she gathers clothes and other items to send to Central America.  She said that recently she found a bicycle in a trash pile that seemed to be in fairly good condition.  It turned out that the bicycle only needed an inner tube, so she repaired it and set aside to send in the next shipment.
