Freecycle - Promote waste reduction!
Thanks to an internal blog post that Andy created I saw the existence of the Freecycle Network which is “a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns” and the goal is to promote waste reduction. It provides an “electronic forum to “recycle” unwanted items. One person’s trash can truly be another’s treasure!”
I have to say that it is an excellent idea, we should be giving things away that are dangerous as trash in landfills, or just reduce the waste sent (and placed) there.
Found the groups that exist in México but I think the number of members is pretty low, the same applies almost to every other country. The group for Guadalajara is actually a Yahoo! Group. I encourage you to join your local group to help save the planet at least one step at a time.
I am a proud member of our local freecycle group. I love it. What a great community resource.
