There is a lot of wiggle room. I don’t think the strict tonnage will hold, as we also are told there is a reuse program. That is to be weighed also? And was it diverted from waste? Or was it diverted from other donations/ thrift store venues?

Will the IRS be looking in? this barter by cashless credit is a type of activity they like to have a monetization of, and a tax due on…so will they be looking over everyones’ shoulders to see how much cash there is to pick up?

Otherwise, like with so much Doerr gets happening, its a great change in how we view ‘stuff.’

Now if we could just work on ELIMINATING bubble wrap and plastic one time bottles- we could have a thriving glass cleaning industry.
