How to Live Greener

Somehow everything seems better when you don't have to pay for it. Thanks to a proliferation of "Freecycle Groups," not only do you get to get something for free, but you also have the added bonus of knowing how you've aided the planet in the fight against global warming.

Freecycling is the practice of reusing unwanted items. By finding a freecycle group in your community, you can not only keep an estimated 300 tons of waste out of landfills every day, according to a University of Iowa study, but also get rid of stuff you no longer want crowding your space and pass it on to someone who does want it.

Freecycle groups are conducted online and are so popular that you can even find them at Yahoo! http://green.yahoo.com/earth-day/find-a-group.html. Once you are a member, you can make contact with other freecyclers and let the carbon reducing begin. According to Yahoo!, there are over 5,000 reuse groups in the world, so one of them is bound to be near you. Each group has its own etiquette to help the reusing go smoothly and as environmentally friendly as possible.

Some basic freecycling guidelines may include: making sure everything really is free and posted clearly, whether you are giving or interested in receiving; and being sure to arrange an exact time for pick-up to make sure that a bunch of carbon emitting vehicles aren't making a mad dash to be "first come, first served," defeating the premise of the system.

Freecycling is a great way to save money and energy as well as meet like-minded people in your community.
