Do you have stuff you wish you could just get rid of but don’t want to throw them away. Perhaps you just got that new plasma TV you’ve been dreaming about getting and now that you have it you’re thinking what’ll I to do with the old one? Well there are people out there who would love to take that stuff away, you just need to find them.

On-line recycling commuFreecyclenities have made trading and recycling used stuff easy. All you have to do is register and give stuff away. Giving stuff away ensure that you don’t accumulate too many things (packrat), it allows less financially able families to have things, and it produces good karma. “What goes around comes back around.”

    Great post!

    If the economics don’t work, recycling efforts won’t either.
    As our little contribution to make this economics of recycling more appealing,http://LivePaths.com blogs about people and companies that make money selling recycled or reused items, provide green services or help us reduce our dependency on non renewable resources.

    Thanks for the comment Luis. Recycling is a complex thing as you pointed out. I hope someday that everything we consume will be recycled.
