Freecycle.org Simply a Great Idea!

A conversation with Deron Beal of Freecycle.org.

Don’t you just love how we all sit around and yammer about what we should do or what we could do?

And what do we do? 8 out of 10 times we do NOTHING!

But what if you simple idea becomes infectious?

What if your simple idea could change the world, build communities, unite like minded people, help the environment, cost NOTHING and put a huge smile on a person’s face?

No I am not talking about Disney, I am talking about www.freecycle.org!

May 1st 2003 Deron Beal sent out an email to give away a bed, free, just come and get it!

Fast forward to 2009, 6,846,000 people are members of the freecycle movement.

And it all started with the idea of giving something away instead of trashing it or selling it.

I suspect our economic system has corrupted us all to some degree, we seldom give things away just because we can,  we are always looking for the catch or the payback.

Freecycle.org is a pay it forward scheme that could actually hold a key to the reformation of our global commercial systems.

Care more, think more, have more!

Deron Beal walked me through the idea of freecycle.org.
