Green living and Disability?

My father's kidneys have failed him. He is on a kidney machine twelve hours a day. Many cardboard boxes bring supplies to us. All of the boxes go to the Masonic Lodge so they can take orders of soups to their customers during the winter. In the summer the boxes are here for anyone that is moving or knows someone moving. Instead of taking charitable items in plastic garbage bags we use his boxes. The only garbage bags he uses are for sharps. Everything else he discards goes to the bin in a box.
