Cardboard Furniture!

June 17th, 2010

Households and offices often discard unwanted furniture rather than seeking ways of reusing and/or redistributing these materials. Furniture products are regularly discarded as the price of furniture is so cheap, people don’t mind throwing it away once they are done with it. Tons of “starter furniture” finds it’s way to landfill every year. If you are looking for furniture to only use for a short amount of time check out cardboard furniture! It’s comfortable, fairly cheap and recyclable when you are done with it!

“Freeganism is often described as a recent phenomenon, but its premises date back at least to Gerrard Winstanley, a 17th-century English cloth seller.”

“One main gripe that freegans have with American society is just how much food we waste. In his book “Waste: Uncovering the Global Food Scandal,” Tristram Stuart writes that American households, retailers and vendors waste about 40 million tons of food each year.”
