FOR FREE!
There’s something about this particular word that forces our ears to subconsciously perk up, and create an instant sense of excitement. When there is no money involved, no conflict or hesitation can arise. Receiving or giving something away without a price tag yields no harm and creates no guilty shopping woes. Wouldn’t you rather be bragging to your friends, “I was a given a free shirt!” instead of, “I paid an arm and a leg for this shirt!” Due to the item obtained costing no form of money, there is no downside to its name; in the event that you realize you only took the giveaway because it was free, no guilt is attached when discarding the item and if in fact your new possession has great value in your opinion, you can feel even better knowing no dime was spent to have it. Now what do recycling and receiving items for free have in common? Reuse. A sister of recycling known as free-cycling, can summon the similar excited emotions from gaining free items through its simple, beneficial, and free process. Following the same easy to-do theme, you can either donate your own clutter you would have otherwise just thrown away, or look for something of use for yourself at no cost.
Win, win wouldn’t you say?
The non-profit movement includes 4,864 groups with 7,603,875 members around the world hoping to motivate individuals to keep perfectly acceptable items out of landfills. Each local group is moderated by a local volunteer and membership is free. So next time you’re thinking about buying that extra thing you don’t need, remember the famous two words that we all love.
