History

Karma is a concept known in many cultures around the world and may be referred to by different names. It plays a significant role in Hinduism and Buddhism, where karma represents the law of cause and effect. For instance, if a person performs bad or good deeds, it reflects on their karma, forming a positive or negative character.

Tangible Karma Day was made possible by Material Karma, founded in 2005. Founder Amber N. Dilger wanted people to see how karma works in reality. The company focused on recycling and reusing various products. Thanks to their website, people can see which items are most often donated and how they help others.

Turning in your unwanted items for recycling is a great way to make your home more spacious, help others, and save the environment because recycling reduces the amount of waste you produce.
