In 2008, we gave you lots of tips on how to “Go Green”.  Here is another idea for your family to adopt!

Think globally, recycle locally. The Freecycle Network is open to all communities and to all individuals who want to participate. Freecycle groups are moderated by local volunteers from across the globe who facilitate each local group - grassroots at its best!

Go to www.freecycle.org and type in your zip code!

When you want to find a new home for something -- whether it's a chair, a fax machine, piano, or an old door -- you simply send an e-mail offering it to members of the local Freecycle group.

Go to www.freecycle.org and type in your zip code!

Or, maybe you're looking to acquire something yourself. Simply respond to a member's offer, and you just might get it. After that, it's up to the giver to decide who receives the gift and to set up a pickup time for passing on the treasure.

Go to www.freecycle.org and type in your zip code!

Our main rule: Everything posted must be free, legal, and appropriate for all ages.

“I’ve been able to get rid of a lot of stuff and I feel good about it.  The stuff I have been able to give away is actually going to be used by somebody who needs it and will stay out of a landfill.”  Amy Laboissonniere
