Submitted by Liv Greene on Mon, 12/29/2008 - 10:51am. How many Christmas ties, new toaster ovens and Hanuka chochkes did you wind up with this year? Or have you got something that you’re replacing but still has some life left?
Now’s a great time to post your unneeded goods to the Greenopolis Free ‘n Exchange and give them a new home! You’ll get the good feeling of giving someone else something they want and keep an item in circulation and away from the landfill. » read more

Here is some information about our ecostations and their importance to the environment we live in today! The Problem: "Every year the United States produces 50 billion pounds of plastic and only recovers 2 billion pounds- 40 billion pounds goes into the land, air, and ocean" "June 2006 United Nations reported that there are 46,000 pieces of plastic debris floating on or near the surface of every square mile of the ocean."

I make the effort to reuse, recycle, and compost everything possible. However, I am stumped as to what to do with three items:

- Shorted-out earbuds - Are there any recyclers that would accept them, possibly separate the plastic, metal, foam, and the other components? Would it be fair to post them on Free'N Exchange for someone savvy enough to repair them?
- Net bags that apples and oranges are sold in - I have amassed probably two dozen of the non-plastic variety in the past few months.

We all have a ton of "junk" that we can't part with and is wasting space in our attics or garages. Recently, I hosted a garage sale / moving sale for a friend who was simply overwhlemed with the amount of stuff he and his family had collected. They didn't want to move all that stuff so many states away. The dollar cost and carbon cost to move was too high. A garage sale was the only answer.
A garage sale seemed like a great way to re-purpose and re-home a lot of the stuff. » read more

David Hamilton paid nothing for his bed. The king-size wooden bed frame was found by Hamilton while scavenging. He found the mattress at Freecycle.com, a free online exchange site. In total, he paid £3, equivalent to $6 dollars, all on screws to hold the frame together. Hamilton considers himself a freegan.
The art of freeganism is quite simple. Scrounge whatever you need by performing in the age old act of dumpster diving. The anti-consumerism movement is sweeping the United Kingdom by storm. » read more
