FREECYCLE

loved it, very interesting x

Thanks again for all the positive feed back. I love Freecycle ™. It nearly guarantees that what you give goes to someone that will use it.

I once dropped off a computer and printer at the Salvation Army and they told me they would probably throw it out (I'm not even sure they e-cycle). A few years later I had two old computers that I gave away on Freecycle™. One to a guy who was creating a computer museum and another to someone making fish tanks from old Mac units.

Some trash is only one part away from being fine. There are tons of folks looking to take that the sub-perfect item. Even better is that Freecycle™ come to you!

Clearly in the land of plenty, we are OVER-fortunate. Pass on and buy less.

Catch this pod on TV FREECYCLE- TV airing

BIG UPS on this footage man...this was put together very well...good luck!

BAM! You hit this one out of the park as usual! This event is super and you did a great job giving the facts and personal heart felt joy people have when they give. There's no place like NY, There's no place like NY, There's no place...
keep banging J!

I knew this was destined for TV, hope I get to see in on Current UK.

Huge contribution to the public
GL.

Freecycle has changed my life! This pod will carry the message to countless others who suffer from clutter and over-consumption as I did until recently. Well done. (I especially appreciate the absence of any self-righteous overtones.) GL

super cool. Thanks for putting the word out about this. We do something like this in my neighborhood in Seattle with free boxes and quarterly clothing swaps, but I didn't realize there was a global community for this. Really well put-together pod. A compelling story with interesting characters and locations. ::greenlight::

Going up the ranking...
Just came to check! :D

Thanks for all the positive feed back.
Here's some facts from Recycle This

1. 80% of US products are used once, then thrown away

2. Clothing & textiles = 6.5% of New York City's waste stream

3. New York City residents discard 13,000 tons of waste every day.

4. 71 pounds fo waste is created for every pound of finished products.

5. 11.5% of NYC's waste is non-recyclable plastic. Almost half of that is plastic bags!

6. More than 30% of municipal waste is packaging. (40% of that is plastic)

This is well put together and smoothly edited. Nice use of sound bites too. Thanks for sharing.

Do you ever get any big wheels? Check out my pod.

Am I the only person who was completely unaware of this? Great pod, and more importantly, great info.

Very interesting, something to rival the "throw away generation" that is going on right now. A free garage sale. It is very true and sad how we throw away perfectly good items that can be used by less unfortunate people. GL from me.
Check out my "Food 4 Thought".

Freecycle rocks!!
There's a freecycle network here in London as well!
Nice pod! GL!

Hmmmm... I've got a lot of still-functional cr** I'd like to get rid of. I might actually give this a try!

That sorta says something itself about the worthiness of this pod. I think it could be trimmed a bit, but still a good story told effectively (clearly), so GL from me.

Freecycling is great--the underground economy. Better for the environment and great for human interaction, too. Thanks to everyone who makes this possible!

Freecycle rocks, this video definately hits it dead on !
Someone asked Why is this better than giving to Goodwill, Housing Works, or the Salvation Army?
Because they sell the items and freecycle gives it away for free, and people will pick things up from you, no transporting stuff.

It's fabulous !

Seems like a spin on a flee market to me. New York always has this cool things. Great pod. GL.

I LOVE FREECYCLE! Really nice job!

About 2:00 too long, good content, good story. Why is this better than giving to Goodwill, Housing Works, or the Salvation Army?

I'm going to check out this site and see if I can so something like this in my town.

This is a great pod. GL from me.

Definately needs to be on TV. GL

this is a real gem of a piece. it has tv written all over it. very well-shot, your colours and composition of shots look fantastic and the story idea is brilliant. big big GL- eleni

this is a very cool practice! GL!

Great content. The subject-matter definitely didn't allow you to make a very visually compelling film, but that didn't keep you from telling a great story anyway, and you did a great job telling it.
The film is light and informative, but its implications are very real and tangible.

I love the fact that you are making pods that are meaningful and reachable. This should be on TV so that more people are aware of options like these. We are wasteful in America and it's sad. I'm going to check out your toher work, froma glance, it all is realistic choices..are you an Aquarian, like me? GL
