My mini-photo blog passion project, Loved Furniture Lasts, is evolving into Furniturecycle, which is dedicated to exploring furniture waste from the bottom up. Our first newsletter launches in June.
You can take a look back here.
Looking ahead, what furniture waste topics do you want to learn more about? Let me know at thefurniturecycle@gmail.com.
Thanks for joining the conversation.
Having recently started a nonprofit to collect unwanted but only gently used furniture for people in need, I have been struck by the lack of responsibility that people take for their own objects. Once they decide they don't want it anymore it becomes garbage and not their problem. I think that ownership of something needs to start when you're shopping for it and it doesn't end until 1) you are dead or 2) you've given it to a new home and not dumped it in landfill or left it on the sidewalk.
