recycling is more than just trendy

ever heard of Freecycle.org? it's like recycling, but better. you join the group nearest you (ours is a Yahoo group) and when you have something you don't need and will throw away, you post it and if someone wants or needs it they respond. you can leave it outside for them to pick up, or you can greet them and chat.

i've met some cool people and freecycled a lot of stuff that would've gone to the landfill. we've gotten nice tv's, furniture, kids stuff, almost a piano, but someone responded b4 me. a lot of rich people and hippies live around here, so everything is really nice and the system itself works really well. i've gotten all the things i need for my recycled artwork, for free. whenever we need something, i always try Freecycle or craigslist first.

rock!!
