The mission of The Freecycle Network is "to build a worldwide gifting movement that reduces waste, saves precious resources and eases the burden on our landfills while enabling our members to benefit from the strength of a larger community."
Every day the group does just that, preventing more than 500 tons of items from ending up in the trash. As The Freecycle Network points out, that would-be trash amounted to five times the height of Mount Everest in the past year alone. With Freecycle, you list items three ways: Wanted, Offered, Taken. You know that when you let go of something that no longer serves you, someone who really wants it will receive it. Collaboration that makes it easier on our sweet Mother Earth.
