We buy certain types of used products all the time.  Lots of us live in 'used' houses or apartments.  Many people own 'used' bikes or other vehicles.  Tons of people have 'used' baby cribs, strollers, clothers, etc.  We read 'used' books at the library...

We can buy used.  If it can be cleaned, it can be re-used. 

Remember that while it's great to re-use your goods when you are finished with them - by giving them to a friend or family member, by donating them to a group that wants them, etc. - it's also important to consider this as part of our consumer habits!  Buying used and relying on used goods as much as possible for our needs significantly reduces the amount of new materials we need to buy.  Reusing goes both ways, and is a great way to reduce waste!
