Learn to Freecycle

By: Sarah Russell

Never heard of freecycling? You?re not alone. Freecycling is a recent trend that takes garage sale-ing to the next level. Freecyclers use internet groups to get rid of their unwanted goods and pick up new things, all for free. Currently over one million members in over 50 countries around the world participate in freecycling.

The original Freecycle Network formed in Tucson, Arizona in May 2003 to promote waste reduction and help save the desert landscape from being taken over by landfills. The concept of environmental protection, paired with free stuff, took off and local groups can now be found in almost 3,000 communities around the world. Local groups are run by a volunteer moderator and membership is free and open to individuals and non-profit organizations.

And since it is their active engagement in things that interest them, play should be child-led, or at least child-inspired, for it to remain relevant and meaningful to them. Children at play are happily lost in themselves; they are in their own realm of wonder, exploration, and adventure, pulling parents in at times with a frequent ?Let?s play, mom!? as an open invitation into that world.

things must be considered and decisions made. This usually

comes at a time when most people are at their worst,

Today, it is not uncommon for traditional funeral and burial

costs to be well over $10,000+ in many areas of the United

States, and these costs continue to rise fast! This is due
