Thanks for sharing!

This week, I would like to share links to a couple of interesting things that have come across my desk recently, sent in by volunteers.

Here is a shocking story about H&M and Wal-Mart stores destroying brand-new merchandise, rather than donating it: http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/beauty/h-m-and-wal-mart-destroy-and-trash-unsold-goods-562909/

Are you an LPCS volunteer?  Have you ever wondered where you fit in with other Americans who volunteer?  Check out this fun, interactive graph: http://www.good.is/post/transparency-where-we-volunteer/

Have you seen any interesting article you'd like to share?  Please send them to me at hreynolds@lpcsonline.org.
