		<description><![CDATA[How can you re-use these items?  Would any of you be willing to save them for people near you who could use them?  Are you willing to post a wishlist if you know how to re-use them, or WILL re-use them?  By doing so, we epitomize what it means to consume less by sharing more.  That's what we do here. ]]></description>
