Feb 20 2013, 10:41 AM We as humans spend much of our lives collecting stuff, only to regret it when we have to pack it onto a truck and move it from one place to another. And when it takes a full weekend, two truckloads totaling 30 feet long and driving four times and a little more than 600 miles back and forth, it hits home that one can have too much stuff.

Feb 20 2013, 10:43 AM Your editorial on recycling is beyond reproach. It is so well thought out that words cannot describe it.
