Nashua Telegraph : Buying less doesn’t mean giving up things you want
Purchasing less doesn’t always mean you have to go without. Recycling is a great way to do this, as are yard sales, secondhand shops and freecycle.org.
Freecycle is a Web site that makes it simple to donate things you are no longer using. It works like this: You put in an ad that describes what you would like to give away. In response, you get e-mails from people who are looking for just that item.
