One of the best ideas anyone has ever had
Love FreeCycle. Think it is one of the best ideas anyone has ever had. There are so many great reasons to use and love FreeCycle. From keeping things out of landfills to helping someone find something they need. A way to pass your things on and really feel good about giving them away.

A great program
Freecycle is such a great program - It's wonderful to see so many people in so many communities helping each other out while not filling up our landfills! Thank you so much for having such a great idea!!

Doing something about it
I LOVE Freecycle Eugene, we are an awesome group of people taking the problem of excess junk and doing something about it. I meet new people and find out who of the people I already know are really cool. It just feels good and I don't have to feel guilty. If there is a local Freecycle in your area join it, if not start one. You'll be glad you did.

Sometimes people just need things
I think that Freecycle is one of the greatest ideas. I run the Fort Polk/ Leesville Louisiana group. I think Freecycle is important to my area because on a military base people are always coming and going, and we aquire lots of stuff with all of our moves. Also sometimes people just need things and if I can help someone that makes me feel good.

Feels great to make this kind of connection
Freecycling is an all around win - some folks get something they'd like - for free - some people get rid of something they don't need anymore - without having to toss it - and everyone gets to make personal contact with someone else in the process. In such a DISconnected world, it feels great to make this kind of connection.

Takes recycling a step further
Great idea... I'd heard of Freecycle before but forgot all about it. Now I'm registered and can't wait to recycle more. I've been a recycler for over 20 years now. This just takes recycling a step further.

Spinning off more groups
This freecycle concept is such a fabulous idea - and I put my time where my mouth is by moderating a freecycle group for the Dulles corridor in Virginia. When I'm not moderating my group or spinning off more local freecycle groups I'm using freecycled items at www.susanreynolds.com for what else - to make art!

So that we can breathe easier
I love freecycle it has helped me meet people who need things and people who are giving things so that we as humans can breathe easier... And I can unclutter my garage and house because of it.

Grassroots
Freecyle is a grassroots environmental movement whose goal is to recycle and reduce waste and landfill space by connecting people who are throwing away unwanted items with others who are seeking the same items (and have a little fun in the process). No item is too big or too small; but since this is a FREEcycle list and we emphasize gifting, ALL items must be 100% (that's right, you got it) free. The website is my local FreeCycle, but this is a national movement for bettering our environment while helping others.
