Bye Buy
The Buy Nothing Project is a global gift economy network. It is a neighborhood-specific movement where folks can offer things they don’t need and neighbors can pick them up free of charge. This keeps items out of landfills and gets them into the hands of someone who needs them. No money changes hands. Neighbors can also ask for something they need and members can respond if they have an item they’re willing to give. If you use Facebook, you can search for your local Buy Nothing group (you may be asked to provide your cross-streets to ensure you’re in a neighborhood’s borders). There’s also a Buy Nothing app.
