Recycling is a great thing to do to save resources and to keep the bulk out of the landfills. But, have you ever thought of recycling yourself? There are tens of thousands of people waiting for organs – their life depends on it. I’m not sure if it would fall in the category of reuse or recycle but it is an important thing to do. Many young lives are lost each year – healthy organs are wasted. It is always a rough time for a family to make decisions at the time of an emergency so it is something to think about ahead. The sad part is that many young lives are also lost each year because they don’t get a transplant.
I recently had a young friend die – she was on the transplant list. Visit her website, Rachel Nates.com and a site that she had designs available to promote transplant. Beautiful designs on everything from tee shirts to postage stamps. Keep the cycle of organ transplant going. Discuss it with your loved ones. Let them know that you want to help, and live on in someone else.
