FREECYCLE

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

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.

this is a very cool practice! 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

Definately needs to be on TV. GL

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.

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

I LOVE FREECYCLE! Really nice job!

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

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 !

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

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.

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

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".

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

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.

Excellent. We need things like this to curb the ridiculous consumer urge that permeates mainstream western culture. And it's different that goodwill or something because everything is free. People trade and meet and give away, promoting a sense of community and communication....it breaks down barriers between people and gives them a perspective on how much we waste in our culture. GL.

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)

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

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::

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

Huge contribution to the public
GL.

great piece. really well shot and edited, and of course great subject. makes me want to move to fort greene where there's real community events going on like that (i live in manhattan and that stuff doesn't happen anymore) sorry i didn't get to it earlier to GL it. congrats on getting picked for TV.

check out my piece "eighty eight" if you get a chance.

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