Re-cycling and cutting back on waste are ways that we can all make a contribution to our future generations. There’s an online effort called FreeCycle that encourages people to give away unwanted items rather than toss them in the dumpster. A recent article on Yahoo details the group and it’s good work.

It makes sense to our family. Re-cycling is an attitude, a thought process where you consider another’s use for something before heaving it in the trash heap. We’ve recycled some old barrels and received some tomato plants among other things. When you get that new extra light Cannon paddle, you could offer your old one up on FreeCycle or make it available to a novice kayaker. It’s free to join. Find a group near you and save some landfill space.
