Buying Used Stuff at Thrift Stores DOES NOT CAUSE ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE Like Buying New Stuff Does. When You Buy a New Product, the Corporation Has to Replace It. They Mine Raw Materials, grow plants (like cotton) using pesticides and herbicides, Log Forests, Employ Slave Laborers in the Orient, Burn Gasoline Shipping the Plastic Crap Here From China... and on and on and on... Used Products ALREADY EXIST and so Buying Stuff at The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop (my local store) does NOT Harm the Planet. Actually, They Hire Local People to Work as Clerks and Do Delivery. We Bought ALL our Living Room Furniture there. Three Chairs and a Sofa... and Men Delivered It Upstairs in Our Home. NO WAY could I Move those Heavy Objects Up That Staircase... I Tipped those Guys $10 Each... and they were really Thankful. Yes, I Could Have Spent a Fortune at Sears or KMART but... I Prefer to Keep The Money IN MY WALLET. I Like Employing Guys That Live At The Rescue Mission. The Mission Does Good Work Here in Eureka and I've Met a LOT of Real People That They Help. I did buy new Beds at Sears. Somehow, those were just too Personal to Buy Used... also, I Do Not Buy Used Underwear... BUT, Clothes? YES! It's actually fun to find thrift stores in Super Rich Neighborhoods and Live Like the TV Show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous..." A Great Place to Shop is North Shore Lake Tahoe... Snow Bunnies often Donate Extra Stuff When the Season is Over... and There is Also DUMPSTER DIVING in College Towns at the End of the School Year... FREE STUFF! 

Oddly, I Expressed These Opinions during a Group Discussion at an Ecology Class at Humboldt State University and ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS SAID I WAS WRONG... They said that Used Stuff Still Requires Ecological Damage to Exist at All... I tried to explain that the Manufacturing Damage Happened IN THE PAST and it is impossible to Change History but Buying New Stuff CAUSES Purchasing Agents at Corporations to Hire People to Create New Stuff IN THE FUTURE to Fill the Shelves At The Store. No One Grasped the Concept. But I Did Make The Other Students Think. and That's a Good Thing. It's a difficult concept... I Wish I Could Explain it in a Shorter Sentence... Maybe YOU can Re-Write the Concept Better and Post it in the Comments Section... Thanks!

Remember: There are Two Ways to Get Everything You Want. Get More or Want Less. and... You Can Get More Stuff Per Dollar At The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop... or Your Own Store... Did You Know that There is a Fashion "Thing" where Corporations PRE-RIP Clothes? Intentionally Making Them LOOK USED! Really! They Hire People to Rub Jeans over Rough Surfaces to SIMULATE Wear and Tear of Normal Use... I'm Not Making This UP! All the Pathetic Dupes are Wearing Clothes Like That! On My Own Webstore... I Offer Hats that have been "Distressed" to look like they are Old... It's an Option... I wish I could write a Mocking Slogan Poking Fun at this Fashion Trend... Then I Could Sell a Hat with That Saying... Sort of like the Question: "Can You Imagine a World Without Hypothetical Situations?" or The Page that says: "This Page Is Left Blank Intentionally." A Cosmic Haiku Slogan... I do sell a Hat that says "PRESS" so people can wear it at Protest Marches and Avoid Being Bashed on the Head By The Police... I Do Not Really Know if It REALLY Helps Avoid Police Violence... I Do Know That People Made T-Shirts Saying "Backstage Pass - Shoreline Amphitheater - Bill Graham Productions" and Used them to sneak past Security Guards... I admire the Guy that Made a Sign that Says "This is a Sign." Was That Absurdist Theater or End Times Warning?

The first Earth Day led to the creation of the EPA and our country’s bedrock environmental laws, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act. Now, our President is trying to erode these hard-won protections, for the sake of corporate greed.

Just in the past few weeks, Trump’s EPA weakened the Endangered Species Act and enabled more lethal pesticides linked to bee declines, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just decided NOT to categorize monarch butterflies as endangered -- despite recent counts showing these essential pollinators at near-collapse, largely due to industrial agriculture’s growing use of glyphosate (aka Monsanto’s Roundup®) and habitat destruction.

With your support, Friends of the Earth Action has been monitoring and fighting back against these attacks on bees and butterflies, which threaten our food system and our very survival. But... Then they asked for Money... and NO, I did not Give any Money BUT... You May at: https://foeaction.org/

American History: The Humboldt County Timber Wars... A Hostile Takeover of Pacific Lumber Company and The Extreme Logging of Old Growth Redwoods in Northern California. MAXXAM SUXX
In 1985 Charles Hurwitz borrowed money (Junk Bonds) from Michael Milken and bought the company Pacific Lumber, located near Eureka, California. Then Hurwitz increased the rate of logging in the Redwood Forest and cut down all the highly profitable trees. Then he split his corporation MAXXAM into two divisions. One division was used to do actual logging and sawing of boards and the other division was used to hide the profits. When the bill came due on the Junk Bonds, Hurwitz declared bankruptcy and took the money back to Texas. Including the pension funds that paid retirement benefits for employees...

All of a Sudden NO ONE IS FLYING IN JET AIRPLANES. That's GREAT because Jets POLLUTE The AIR Causing Global Warming... Remember Greta Thunberg's Sailboat Ride to New York? She Refuses to Fly and Now... EVERYBODY REFUSES TO FLY.

Headline: Airlines could lose up to $113 billion in passenger revenue due to coronavirus, IATA says.

It seems like Everything about the Culture of the Internal Combustion Engine is Going Crazy these Days. Notice a TREND? Consider:
1. Global Climate Strike 9/20 and Shutdown Washington DC 9/23 Civil Disobedience - Traffic Block.  
2. Saudi Arabian Oil Refinery on Fire - Price of Oil Goes UP! 
3. UAW Labor Union Strike. 
4. Oil Tanker Hijacking in the Middle East. 
5. New Car Sales Down Nationwide. 
6. Global Warming Causes Wildfires in Alaska, Siberia, Brazil and Indonesia. 
7. Climate Change Causes Massive Hurricanes... Now Spawning Tornadoes! 
8. Endless Traffic Jams in Every City... Gridlock All Day Long... 
9. Gas Powered Leaf Blowers Outlawed in Many Cities... GET A Freaking RAKE! No Gas Required! 
10. Construction of the "BIG U" Dike in Manhattan, NYC to Prevent Flooding Due to Rising Sea Level. Real Estate becomes Worthless when the Streets are Under Water...
