"FreeCycling" - ah

Thats what its called. Someone pointed me to some interesting links:

http://www.freecycle.org/group/IN/India/Bangalore
http://money.howstuffworks.com/freecycle-network.htm
http://money.cnn.com/2007/07/13/magazines/fortune/pluggedin_gunther_freecycle.fortune/index.htm

Really cool - quite a few people seem to be doing this. Have asked to join the YGrp - but so far the visible messages seemed to be about recycling rather than reuse - am optimistic. Just got membership - people ARE looking for and giving a lot of stuff - neat.

Of course, I believe a lot of this happens through the grapevine - around the apartment and in the "aunt-network" - and its very effective. We've had so many great hand-me-downs for our daughter this year we probably will not need to buy any clothes for her for a while :)

I think a place like this blog has a role to play in that chain - people who might not necessarily want to join groups or register on sites for that one-off giveaway - or even those who almost never go online. If this bridges that gap, it'll be worth the effort!

C'mon - get rid of that !

Lend, Barter Too ?

While looking around home for stuff to give away, I realized there's also stuff we don't really need right now, but don't want to give away either forever. Some stuff you may be ok with exchanging for other stuff, either temporarily or permanently.

So you can add "For: Lending" or "For: Barter" and get this done too!

Giving is fun, eco-friendly and will expand your real world social network.

Give!

Have something to give?

A lot many of us have so much stuff at home thats of no use to us. Not always great stuff, but useful to someone somewhere.

Give it, earn goodwill, help reuse, and feel happy :)

If you have anything you want to give away, send mail to gv4free[A-T]gmail.com

Once I find someone who's keen to get what you're offering, will vet request, and put you guys in touch. No money should change hands, please, except shipping costs and the like. Ideally no shipping either, so we can keep this as green as possible.

Once its gone, I'll add "GONE" to the post, and 'take-no-calls' on that.

What say ?
