What Freecycle IS about
Freecycle IS about keeping things out of the landfill.
It IS about giving away something that has no use in our life anymore
to someone who could extend its usefulness a little longer.
It IS about giving gifts to people while clearing out our own clutter.
It IS about creating, building, and sustaining an environmentally
aware community.
When we post an OFFER, we are offering to give someone a gift. It is up to us to give this gift to whoever we feel would be the best
recipient. We are not obligated to give our gift to someone who is rich, poor, single, married, has no kids, has 1 kid, has 15 kids, has a car, doesn't have a car, or has a purple octopus named George
living in their backyard. We can choose the most polite,
the rudest, the funniest, or the shortest response to receive our gift. We can put their names in a hat and do a draw, or we can wave
our magic fingers over our screens and pick one that way. We can choose the first, 3rd, or 53rd respondent. We can wait 24 hours and then decide. It is up to us.
When we post a WANTED message, or respond to an offer, we are
requesting a gift. The odds are that no one on this list will be able
to give us what we are asking for. But sometimes somebody will see a
WANTED for a bowling ball and go ''AHA! I have one in my closet!''
But, you know what? Just because we are rich, poor, single, married,
have no kids, have 1 kid, have 15 kids, have a car, don't have a car,
or have a purple octopus named George living in our backyard, does
not mean we are more worthy of receiving a gift from a fellow
Freecycle member than the average person living down the street.
