Create a local web start-up that showcases inventory online, not as images, but as figures. Have it begin with basic categorizing such as color, fabric and amount, and let it grow as a locally crowd-sourced ideas repository. Real time product amounts and ideas of how to use them are what is featured instead of any aesthetic draw. The removal of sensory attachment or overload with excessive textile donations through a website that only lists, not shows, available recycled fabric that is reclaimed and sorted at Goodwill would invite new types of community usage: - school classes and clubs wanting scraps for projects and events Information invites action. An enormous virtual counter of available products as one portion of the site, and weekly or monthly community and Goodwill driven challanges and forums on how to use said materials. Jobs for physical sorting, website building and maintenance would be created.
