Get and get rid of stuff at Freecycle
I just discovered a great resource for keeping the environment green and getting rid of old stuff (and maybe getting some old stuff too…) It’s the Freecycle Network, made up of 4,171 groups across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own towns. It's all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills. Membership is free and it was easy to find a group right in my town (with 3,000 members). Downside: you have to have a Yahoo ID.
The Freecycle Network's Mission Statement:"Our mission is to build a worldwide gifting movement that reduces waste, saves precious resources and eases the burden on our landfills while enabling our members to benefit from the strength of a larger community.”
