I created this blog for the purpose of detailing the progress of Freecycle Malaysia Network.

Aim of freecycle is to help reduce the amount of trash clogging our dumpsites, help home makers organise and get rid of clutter, bring together people who have items to give away with people who are willing to accept them..
We (Malaysia Freecycle Network) started with one on Dec 12, 2004 and already we have 155 members and 21 messages posted, with 7 OFFERS including working fax machine, ELCB, aquarium air pump, CD, used clothings, even the hard to get kefir grains used for culturing kefir, a probiotic superior to yogurt.
Help us grow and help the environment. Tell your friends about us.
About Me
- Enviroman
- Everyone knows the familiar symbol for recycle - 3 arrows. But the 3R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) is in reducing order of desirability. For example, recycling greeting cards may be a good practice, but recycling uses lots of water, chemicals and energy, produces secondary pollution like ink in the wastewater, etc.. Directly reusing greeting card is more desirable (see Envirocard). So you see Enviroman clothing himself with a single arrow to represent direct REUSE. Maybe that sinle arror is a better symbol to convey the message than the now wll known 3 arrows symbol. BTW you are free to use the graphic of Enviroman. A link back to us will be highly appreciated.
