Hi there folks. Pete McGrath here with Savills in Detroit. Welcome back to another edition of Supply Chain Sunday. Unfortunately for everyone, my Hawaiian shirt from Magnum Pi will not be involved in this one. So we'll see what kind of readings we get, but, umm. Yeah. Without further ado, I think just this segment was designed or thought up by me for the main reason that you just. It is kind of nuts to see how the supply chain has changed over the past few years and over the past 10 years, you know, things that. You know that Hammacher Schlemmer mail order catalogs done kind of showed us how things used to be. Compared to how things have become with Amazon also expecting things every two days. And my day job as an industrial real estate broker, I mean it, it's, it's part parcel of, of how that's all come together so. They'll further ado. I thought this one was somewhat interesting. I kind of dovetails into some of what I talk about and made in USA Saturday as well. I I think we've become very much. You know, being able to get things two days over the Internet, it's also kind of made us very much of A disposable and throw away culture and it drives me up the wall to see how much stuff I send to the landfill each year, each month, each week. Uh, so anytime there's a chance to recycle or do something a little more eco friendly, I kind of, I kind of look into it and this one I thought, thought was pretty interesting. So. Yes, I am paying money to send somebody my garbage. This is called the trashy bag. You can get these from the trashy website. That's how it's spelled TRASHIE. What you do is you send your you pay about 20 bucks for this bag. Uh, you send it. You put your old stuff in there. Now, just to be clear. These might not be the the shirts and pants and what have you that could be donated to help someone out that someone could wear. Those sorts of things I would still recommend you send those to a local service organization or a local service agency who could put them to good use. This is for the stuff that just would go into the the landfill otherwise. The the pants with the holes, the the kids T-shirts with the applesauce stains, whatever it is, old towels, other stuff you're dirty undies, all of that can go in here. From there, once you send this in, you basically get a a $30 coupon for a website called Four Days. That website has. Different clothing and home items on sale and from there I was able to pick up this pair of shoes. For about 60 bucks all in. These are kind of, you know, these have all the like, kind of like those War Beach Parker slash Bombas check boxes, you know? Maybe go friendly there's give back stuff sustainable construction that made in America as you would probably come to expect, but. That was just a nice way to pick up a pair of shoes and a different way to shop. So in a in effect, that must be the business model. That this, the recycling of clothes and the fibers they get from this just kind of draws traffic to their store. So you can get a pair of these or. Whatever it is you want to do. So Pete McGrath with sales in Detroit. That's Saville or that's trashy and four days. Check them out. I think it's pretty interesting to be. Recycling old laundry and dirty laundry and. Kids shirts and old towels over the Internet. So something I never thought I would see and here we are so. Take care. See you in the comments. See you soon everybody.
