He wont mind.” It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest. But would he mind? The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks. As close as we were, though, the time came when Jeff needed a doorbetween Us. His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family. I no longer could or should know everything about him. It turned out that getting Jeff permission was easy. He said, “Of course, Mum, it would be selfish of me to hold on to it ” Then his vcce softened, “Mum，I won't be living at home againyou know that.” Behind his glasses, his eyes were lit with all the love. There were no door closed here they had all opened up again. As John and I were cleaning the room, I fixed my eyes on Jeff's things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever.I looked at the room and ,in my heart,I let it go.To hold on would be,as Jeff said,seifish .Now it was time for John,shouldering through the door,his eyes bright with promise of indepenence ,to disappear behind the door,It was time for letting go to happen again.24.

Giordano says the three bins have helped reduce the nun of trash bags from an average of 22 to just 2!

Customers have to eat their meals inside a dumpster(大型垃圾装卸车）! The place, of course, is totally clean. It is iust a symbolic gesture. In addition to helping people rethink their actions, Treuhaft also helps them to do good by donating part of the profits to non-profits devoted to fighting against food waste.32.
