Ideas for broken Umbrellas

Submitted by Barbara on Sat, 02/27/2010 - 22:00

This winter, my husband and son were caught in a rain storm waking back from the park. They found a broken umbrella and adopted it for the walk back to the house after which we disposed of it. As the winter went along, from time to time I walked past more broken umbrellas left on the side of the road or next to garbage cans. My thoughts went mostly to, "Why do they have to make them so very crappy. It wouldn’t take much to make an umbrella that would last."

How about we do more recycling within our community?  We firmly believe that there is enough of almost everything to meet the needs of the people.  We just need to get the right thing to the right person.
