One Person's Trash...

My wife is a firm believer in the old adage that one person's trash is another person's treasure. So it was not much of a surprise to me when she told me one evening that she was going to a nearby neighborhood to pick up a free, used printer from someone. At first, I figured she had been in contact with one of our friends who had a printer that they wanted to offload, but she then informed me that she found this printer through an intriguing website, http://www.freecycle.org/. As I learned more about Freecycle, I quickly realized this was a great way to give and help others, not to mention help the environment. It really embodies the idea of "neighbor helping neighbor". If you're not familiar with Freecycle, I'd encourage you to go to their website to learn more.
