The "ReUsing" Hub Eastern Ontario / Western Quebec ==================================================================== FCO Yahoo! Group | FCO Café | FC Blog | RRFM To reduce their individual and collective environmental footprints on our home, the Earth, reusers of all persuasions practice freecycling. They routinely "audit" their possessions and identify surplus stuff... unused, unwanted stuff taking up valuable space in their homes. Then, using the various reuse/freecycling venues (FullCircles, Freecycle, ReUseIt, etc), they advertise their surplus articles and gift them to those community members who are not ashamed to be conservers... actively, enthusiastically, proudly, and openly using pre-owned stuff. An active and vibrant reuse market results in the conservation of tons and tons of our planet's scarce resources and promotes the values of sustainability. Added benefits are that reusers save money, and are able to live comfortably in smaller spaces when surplus "stuff" is constantly labelled "surplus" and freecycled. It's a minor miracle to watch freecycling convert worthless unwanted stuff turn into valuable community assets which improve the quality of life of community members. Most of these local freecycling venues use Yahoo!groups technology; some newer ones use Facebook; and others use Trashnothing. They are all FREE to join, but you must join in order to take full advantage of these great resources.
