Have already added the link to my website, but thanks to others for the ideas about encouraging my networks e.g. article in the church mag or distributing hippos. Will try to get my Companions group at church to sign up over the summer.

Give Your Unwanted / Unworn Clothes To Charity - 19 Jun 2007
This is such a great action for meeting several targets – environmentally-friendly, fairly-traded, saves landfill and extravagance. Some ways I’ve found to extend this action you might like to try: 1. commit to buying all your clothes from charity shops and jumbles too (undies and socks might need to be an exception) 2. only replace what you have given away (to keep your wardrobe simple) 3. patch and mend clothes where possible 4. save buttons, zips etc. for sewing projects 5. Use past sell-by date items as cloths and rags 6. natural fabrics such as cotton and wool can be shredded and rot down in compost bins 7. old towels, blankets etc. are good for pets, DIY and messy household and work chores

Jane and Ivan share values of simple and just living, a cottage in rural Suffolk, a boat on the river Orwell and a wonderful extended family including 3 grown up sons (plus partners) and 3 beautiful grandchildren. We disagree abut some things (like religion!)but share the aim to live generously in order that families all over the world may live well.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
Generous is about imagining a different way of living, about innovating, trying new things, believing that things can be better, simpler, more beautiful...
