I know, I know… “going green” is so trendy.
But really, we should all be doing what we can to reduce, reuse and recycle.
I do a pretty good job of recycling.
I even compost! Well, for 2 weeks now! In fact, the eBay folks even posted a composting FAQ that I have found to be very helpful!
Since when does eBay give composting advice? Well, since they’ve gone green!
But an area of The Three Rs that is a bit harder to integrate is REUSE. .
Enter the eBay Green Team.
People don’t aften associate eBay with “green”, but they should. It is a re-user’s paradise… And for that matter a reDUCER’S paradise as well. On can reduce one’s stuff by selling on eBay and one can reuse another’s unwanted stuff by … buying on eBay.
Right?
Right!
