"The junk drawer in the kitchen. The forgotten cupboard in the garage. Or even that cluttered space under the bed. Most of us have some nook or cranny stuffed with old electric appliances and devices. The average UK household is believed to contain at least 20 unused gadgets. We’ve all got them—outdated phones, a blender that no longer blends, or a laptop that’s long since passed its prime. But what should we do with these unwanted electronic items?

*message in a bottle, tossed in the ocean - but that's a #mastodon specialty, right?

I worked as a speech therapist for years, but stopped, and I am wondering if I can find anyone who might be interested in textbooks and/or tests?

- English language (some in French)
- I am in France, so I don't see shipping them - unless the receiver wants to pay, but I am willing to travel to meet (depending on situation)

*open to suggestions

Why do people show so much disregard for #Nature? Why do humans leave rubbish in our national parks? I’ll never understand this. Would you leave garbage in your own backyard? Would you like to sleep among your refuse? I came across this glass bottle, half buried on a walking track. Please don’t leave your rubbish in our national parks. Recycle it. ♻️ 🚮 🗑️
