If you want to feel good and simultaneously do some good for the earth, I suggest you check out Freecycle.org
Freecycle is a nonprofit, grassroots movement with 5,000+ groups worldwide.
People give/get stuff for free, locally.
The movement is saving you from being sucked into the corporate wormhole; Buy. Break. Toss. Repeat.
Help you $$$ SAVE MONEY$$$ and give yourself the opportunity to find cool, new-to-you stuff.
The best part? Things that are still good and usable stay out of landfills!
So why not reduce waste, save our valuable resources and give a gift to someone who will truly appreciate it? Giving feels good and it is 100% FREE
The posts come in two formats:
You post what you want (politely) and hope somebody has it. You can also offer something to the community. To make it fair for everyone, if you get something from a wanted ad, moderators suggest you offer members at least one thing back:
It takes a bit of time to get a response. To be honest, I really didn’t expect anybody to give me a mini-fridge. Lucky me! I picked the fridge up yesterday and will be using it in the fall for fruits and veggies on campus. :]
Do some good for the community, your pocket and the environment. Arisetotrash and check out Freecycle.orgWho doesn’t like free stuff?
