I hate holding a garage sale. Absolutely hate it. You put a price tag of $2.00 on something clearly worth 10 times that amount, and someone offers you $1.00. I don't have the patience for those kind of negotiations. I prefer to work with larger numbers when I do my negotiating. And so, I was happy to find that Ledyard has a Freecycle Group! The group was formed on August 2005 as a branch of the fast growing Freecycle Movement, which began in Tucson, AZ on May 1st, 2003. The group in Tuscon was formed to save the desert landscape from being taken taken over by landfills. The organization now claims almost 4000 groups all over the world. It's a simple concept. The group matches people with stuff to give away, with people who want that stuff. Membership is free and everything posted must be free. You can find a group in your area by visiting the network's website. Or if you live in Gales Ferry/Ledyard you can join their Yahoo group. Our friendly neighborhood Freecycle moderator, is Matthew Bailey. | | | |
