Theme Week: Freecycle and Cheapcycle
Every week we pick a theme to explore in more depth, and this week that theme is green community. To read all our posts related to this theme, click here.What a novel idea. People giving their unwanted stuff away to local people who could actually use it. Sure, we've talked about Freecycle before on GreenDaily, but with this week's community theme, what better time than now to remind you of this wonderful service.
Along with this concept is the Cheapcycle network, which operates relatively the same way, except you usually pay yard-sale prices for the items. With both of these networks, you simply join an email list and the latest offers will come to your inbox for you to peruse at your leisure.
Etiquette is very important in lists like these. You can't just ask people for a brand new iPhone or a 60 GB iPod, they will run you off with pitchforks. But as long as you follow their general, common-sense rules, you'll be fine. It's all about give and take, not greed!
