Recycling

I read an interesting article in the national paper in Canada called the globe and mail this morning. 

The article, a holiday survival guide, was about buying used toys, be it a Goodwill, Salvation Army or any second hand store, for your tots instead of new toys, basically a new way to recycle and save money at the same time.

The article went on to say that kids don't really care where toys come from.  That to kids toys are toys are toys.  And furthermore, it states that most kids won't even notice that the toys are used.  And it really takes the sting out of buying a new toy for the holidays  and the novelty wears off in 24hrs and there goes your money.

What a novel idea, saving money and recycling for the planet!
