Freecycle Petaling Jaya

Good news. A moderator of the Petaling Jaya freecycle group is now trying to activate the dormant group. Below is pasted the invitation:

This is an invitation to join http://groups.yahoo.com/group/freecycle_pj

The Freecycle Network, Malaysia, where one person's trash is another's treasure! We are "changing the world one gift at a time". This group is primarily for the inhabitants of Petaling Jaya. Our goal is to reduce waste by connecting people who are throwing away unwanted items with others seeking the same items. No item is too big or too small; but since this is a FREEcycle list, ALL items must be 100% free, legal appropriate for all ages.

Freecycle lies somewhere between the garage sale and the dump, and is much cooler than either. It's an innovative concept that harnesses the power of the Internet to do what the Internet does best -- eliminate the middleman and empower the individual. Freecycle allows for personal contact between donor and recipient -- each gets exactly what they want, and nobody is considered a 'charity case.' Many members both give and receive items on a regular basis. No overhead, no intermediaries, no money changing hands, no waste and no catch, and everyone's happy. Charities and NGOs may also post their needs here.

Use Freecycle to organise and DE CLUTTER.

Freecycle. One simple, brilliant idea that's changing the world one gift at a time.
