A few months ago, I was introduced to Freecycle and I must say... it is pretty cool. Freecycle was started in Tucson, Arizona in 2003 by Deron Beal using the Internet to connect people who have stuff to give away with others in their local area. The idea is pretty clever! We all have things packed away in closets, attics and the garage that we don't need. Freecycle provides a way to keep unwanted items that still have good life out of the landfill and everything must be FREE with no strings attached. I signed up for my local group and so far I have not been the beneficiary of any used treasures; however, I have shared my own unwanted items with other local Freecycler's including: sidewalk pavers, children's toys, books, etc.
You can find a local Freecycle group near you by visiting http://www.freecycle.org/ . Begin sharing some of your own unwanted treasures and perhaps you will find something online you can't live without.
Good luck and please share your treasure stories.
About Me
- gogreenmom
- I am part of a growing group of Parents who are looking for natural and safe health options and environmentally safe home solutions for our families. As a Health & Wellness Consultant, I am fortunate to work from home and enjoy that flexibility. Through personal experiences and my work as a Shaklee Distributor, I have learned about the growing concerns with chemicals in our environment, how this is affecting our children and the growing need for good nutrition. I have become an advocate for children's health issues and share this information with other Moms and groups. I enjoy watching my children live and learn a healthy - greener lifestyle. I try to think about the choices I make, the example it sets for them and the impact we can make for our future and theirs.
