Free Stuff! : FreeCycle is not a charity or a business. It's a way for perfectly good used items to find a new home (other than the landfill). Instead of throwing out things like furniture, dishes, bikes, and electronics, people in a reuse group give these items away for free to other people in their community who can use them. Find a local reuse group.
Get Involved! : Some green activities can be a shared experience (like carpooling). Talk to friends and neighbors about conserving, and develop programs and activities in your neighborhood for others to get involved easily. Students can even start a Club Earth 911 at their school. 10 "different" ways to help the world.
Recycle smart: Go to earth911.org to find community-specific resources, with a focus on recycling. Check out the home page to find out where you can recycle your computer, your cell phone, and even used motor oil.
Support Local Farmers: Typical grocery store produce travels nearly 1,500 miles before it ends up on your plate. All this traveling burns fuel and results in lots of carbon emissions (pollution). Buying from local farmers means you're not only getting the freshest food possible, you're saving energy. Attend our new Sage Market! To find other farmers nationwide, visit eatwellguide.org, localharvest.org, sustainabletable.org, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture at www.ams.usda.govfarmersmarkets/map.htm
