The Compact
In 2005, a group of friends in San Francisco got together and decided that they would not buy anything new, expect for food and essentials. What began as a simple idea to make a good faith effort at reusing material among friends has become a movement of nearly 8000 people.
The people involved with the Compact "reuse or recycle what they have and buy only used or secondhand goods — except for food, health-related items and personal things, like socks and underwear. You can spend as much as you like on life’s more intangible pleasures, like travel, sports, music and other cultural activities."

Glouster Reuse Day!
Today, we headed up Route 13 to Glouster to flyer for our Reuse Day, which will be held on March 10 from 10 am to 4 pm. Although the weather reports over the weekend were predicting a mess of rain, snow and cold, it turned out to be a pretty nice day for flyering. We'd also like to extend a special thanks to AmeriCorps*VISTA volunteer Emily Boyer from the Sunday Creek Watershed Group and volunteer Jordan Vincent for helping us out!
The Glouster Reuse Day, through a grant from the Athens Foundation, will provide a special day of free pickup service to residents within the village limits of Glouster. We will also have a truck parked at Glouster Memorial Park for anyone in the area who wishes to bring donations to us. This is a great chance for the residents of Glouster to get rid of their reusable materials!
