Save the planet and get stuff for free!
Freecycle.org was started in 2003 in the USA by
36-year-old Deron Beal. When Beal rvanted to give away office
supplies he no longer needed, he found that his local charity
shop would not take them. He didn't want to just throw away
useful items, so he decided to start 'The Freecycle Network'
where environmentaily-minded groups of people could advertise
their unwanted goods online for free.
The idea proved so popular that Freecycle groups are now
operating in over fifty countries. It is
estimated that this worldwide movement is now responsible for
preventing more than 200 tonnes of goods from being thrown
away each day.
One of the reasons fbr the network's popularity is that it is
extremely simple to use. Members sign up to an email list on the
Freecycle.org website. They then receive lists of items that
people in their area would like to give away. Unlike many other
online advertising sites, the items are always free. If you
find something you want, you simply contact the advertiser. You
are then responsible fbr arranging to pick the item up.
The majority of members sign up because they agree with the
environmentally fiiendly ethics of the network. However, there
are some people who do it to make money by selling the items
later. The website's voluntary workers say that they don't mind
this. The important thing is that the amount of waste being
dumped in landfill sites is reduced.
Freecycle is becoming increasingly popular in the UK where
there are currently more than 200 groups giving away, on
average, around 45,000 items each month. Some local councils
now promote Freecycle by handing out leaflets, in the hope that
residents put less waste in the bins provided. Others are even
considering setting up a similar community advertising
programme through their websites.

Passengers on a flight from London to New York
spent a long time going nowhere on Monday. Three
hours into the flight the plane developed a problem
in one of its engines, and the pilot decided to turn
round and return to Heathrow, where the flight
landed seven hours after taking off. Passengers
spent the night in airporl hotels before leaving again
yesterday morning - this time they reached their
destination.
