Recycling information and stories

Making lots of friends and having fun doing something socially worthwhile, like recycling, sounds great.

But there are substantial issues that challenge rural social networking apart from the hard work. Those who make the effort to bring people together in their local community deserve support and publicity to help them get the word around.

‘Fun rural communities can blossom through active social and community network building‘ gives a light hearted but concerned account of the ongoing need for our society to work for better integrated rural social communities and calls for the support and encouragement of those who take the plunge.

Examples of successful rural community workers are wanted to give publicity to their achievements and perhaps encourage others.

I was so impressed with a new organisation i have just discovered that I decided to set up a blog to tell everybody about it!

Sounds like a sales pitch doesn’t it?

Not true. The way this organisation works is it enables people who have something they don’t want to give it to somebody else that does want it.

Completely simple yet so effective.

The one main rule seems to be that the article to be recycled must be free. The person taking the item simply collects the article and that is all there is to it.

The organisation that lies at the centre of this excellent activity is freecycle.org

Groups are set up locally to make the process of exchange easier. My local one is for West Somerset in the UK

Just take a look in your garage and I bet you’ll find lots of stuff you wouldn’t like to throw away. But, hey, giving it away gives you a good feeling and really helps somebody else who might just help you indirectly by helping somebody else … and it just goes on until the world really is a better place.

That’s it! What could be simpler?
