freecycle is like it suggests, the recycling of free stuff. Basically you join a local group and if you have something you don't need anymore you put it on there and give it away to someone worthy. Likewise, if you want something you have a browse and can pick up something for free. The whole point is that it's free. The corny line for the site reads:
changing the world one gift at a time
but there have been a few sweet stories, like the mother who got a free car to take her kids to school.
I've been browsing the London freecycle and so far have been tempted by wicker baskets- picnic-y.

Good one. For some reason I just feel bad lying.

Some hippy crap about minimising my impact on the environment.
It worked!

What did you put for your reasons for wanting to join? That one stumped me.

I'm a member of my local freecycle, but haven't really done much with it yet. But i check it a few times a day, just to see what's up there.

We've gotten rid of a fair amount of stuff on our local freecycle. Most people have been quick, but a few flakes keep saying they're coming by to pick up the stuff and never do. Plus, the board starts to get filled with requests for items which misses the point. |
