OpenCafé

We have started a Freecycle group to offer locals one more way of sharing within the communties of Potchefstroom. Here is what it is all about:

First, what Freecycle is NOT about:

Freecycle is NOT about giving only to the poor.
It is NOT about getting as much free stuff as we can.
It is NOT about getting things to earn money on the side.
It is NOT about getting rid of junk that would be better off in the landfill.
It is NOT about posting a “wish list” for expensive items and expecting a fairy
godmother to fulfill it for us.
It is NOT a community bulletin board for finding rentals, dentists, mechanics,
or advertising our businesses and services or special events.

What Freecycle IS about:

Freecycle IS about keeping things out of the landfill.
It IS about giving away something that has no use in our life anymore to someone
who could extend its usefulness a little longer.
It IS about giving gifts to people while clearing out our own clutter.
It IS about creating, building, and sustaining an environmentally aware
community.

To find out more visit the official Freecycle site.

If you like to idea, do join the group and give on this info to those that might like the new site.

To find out more - see our Flickr albums about making the solar oven, and what we spent the rest of the day with.
