Quarter George
Please Sir, Can I Have Another Wardrobe?
If you don’t have a lot of money in the bank, its usually pretty difficult to get the things you need for your house. If you add to this the fact that everyone is struggling with finances in the current climate and the result is a large amount of households who are living without even the most basic furniture items. There may be an answer to this problem however in the form a government initiative which will ask those more fortunate to give their unwanted items to poorer families, instead of disposing of it or selling it on.
Local events, magazines and radio will all be used to advertise the government’s initiative, which is thought to begin later this year. It is hoped that over a quarter of a million homes will benefit from the idea and Americans will be urged to dig deep. The furniture that is most in demand is bedroom furniture like children’s beds, wardrobes and bedside tables. Living room furniture is next on the wish list, with items such as couches, coffee tables and lighting being highest in demand.
Some critics have spoken out against the campaign, suggesting that the economy needs people to be spending at the moment rather than recycling old items. The government responded reasonably quickly to these accusations, with the argument that people will not be spending less money on new items, as people from low income families would be unlikely to buy new in the first place. Consumer spending expert, Kevin Hall, has suggested that “there will always be a demand for new furniture, but currently there are lots of items being wasted, which we cannot afford to be doing right now”.
The government has said that all furniture, regardless of condition will be accepted for consideration, including dining furniture, kitchen furniture, bedroom items, really anything that people don’t want.
