Freecycle

At the film viewing on Sunday afternoon, we viewed the video "The Story of Stuff"
So many resources are used in the manufacture of so many things which get thrown away after so little use.
One way to extend the life of "stuff" is to give it away to others when you have finished with it.
And who would want it? You'd be surprised!

Freecycle is just like eBay but with one major difference - it must be given away for free!

To learn more, here are some links to allow you to check out Freecycle

The Hobart Australia Freecycle (TM) Network is open to all TASMANIANS who want to "recycle" that special something rather than throw it away. Whatever it is -- a chair, a fax machine, a piano or an old door, feel free to post it. Maybe you're looking to acquire something yourself! Nonprofit groups are encouraged to join the network too. One constraint: everything posted MUST BE FREE.
