    Yeah, it may keep the plastic out of the waters and landfills temporarily, but if not cared for and recycled properly by the homeless, where do you think it will end up?
    In the waters or landfill.
    I have yet to see a clean and well-kept homeless area.

    This is idiotic and these mats will not help anyone living outdoors in actual weather in Minnesota Weather 🌡️. No offense to Travis ...

      If you offered it to someone, I’d say over half the time it would get taken, a few things are better than a couple things a lot of the time

      What about the mats that was used in Jesus days; they all slept on mats; they didn't use mattresses and boxsprings that we do today; you should learn to be kind; a lot of the homeless no matter where they live will be grateful that they don't have to sleep on the ground and at least they have something to sleep on between them and the dirt.; I guess you have never been down and out and have never had to go through hard times; I will keep you in prayers that you learn something.

      @@colleenmisner454 Homeless are homeless because they want to be. They either have mental illness, chemically dependency, or a mix of both.
      You can get shelter in Minnesota and assistance from both the government and private agencies if you're willing to work on treating you metal or chemical issues... or forgo usage while at the shelter.
      Most homeless are unwilling to do this.
