| Buy at Yard Sales, Thrift Stores or the Curb |

| Kids toys are so cheap now that yards have become littered with plastic toys--my worry is what happens to those toys when people are finished with them--more likely than not they end up in landfills. Just because things are cheap, doesn't mean we should buy them. Over the years my parents have picked up dozens of plastic cars, houses, kitchens, sandboxes, slides and the like from the curbside. They have given some to local day cares and others they are using until my nieces outgrow them. Alternately, look to purchase toys from the salvation army or other second hand shops--as they are usually in great shape, are even cheaper than what you would get at walmart and in the process you are salvaging items destined for a landfill. |
